Just need a moment with my peers...  I HATE the fact that some peds and ENTs don't recognise tongue ties when they are present, and foolishly tell parents they will "resolve themselves."  I've never seen any research evidence to support this position, and when a baby cannot elevate the tongue and the tongue cannot come forward over the alveolar ridge, and an oral sweep of the mouth floor reveals a fence I need to move my finger around to get across... well - what other evidence do you need that there's a tongue tie?  OK - thanks for letting me vent.  :)
