This article from Parents.com highlights tongue tie as one of the top breastfeeding issues. That's great! This is a step in the right direction.
But I gotta tell ya: I am disappointed not to see lip tie on this list as well. As awareness raising about tongue tie continues, a lot of people haven't heard of lip tie, which was my son's issue. In addition, if there is a posterior rather than anterior tongue tie, there is almost always a lip tie. If unaware providers don't look for it, how in the world would you ever know?
That said, I'm glad we're getting there. Let's keep up the good work!
