To Dr. Palmer, 

Thank you for the links and information, I will put them to good use personally 
and professionally. My son has posterior tongue-tie, and malocclusion, tongue-
tie, the need for major orthodontic work (not to mention speech impediments) 
run in my husband's family. I am consistently surprised that none of my niece's 
or nephew's orthodontists have ever mentioned clipping the tongue-tie as part 
of treatment. Am I right in supposing that w/o that procedure, the likelihood 
of long-term success with braces is minimized? 

To keep this on a breastfeeding thread--nursing my son was excruciating! I 
noticed from the very first latch (which was under optimal circumstances;non-
medicated, midwife attended birth, "breastcrawl" style first experience) that 
something was drastically wrong. We are finding  attention-related issues 
surfacing in his academic career as he grows. Poor kid, we homeschool so he 
is in essence my lab rat. 

I say Bravo to Michael Phelps. There was a quote in today's paper that he had 
a Middle School English teacher tell him he'd never amount to anything in life. 
He has overcome quite a bit, and remains a humble and kind young man. 

Kindly,
Leslie Cree IBCLC
