Tongue-Tie & Oral Function

Few topics in lactation generate more debate than tongue-tie. Before you can evaluate it well, you need a solid understanding of normal infant oral function. This collection builds that foundation first, covering newborn reflexes, suck–swallow–breathe coordination, and the cranial nerves involved in feeding. It then moves into hands-on oral assessment and a careful look at the tongue-tie evidence, so you can assess the whole dyad rather than the frenulum alone.
