ABOUT TONGUE TIES
Tongue-tie is a common condition where a thin membrane under the tongue joins the tongue to the floor of the mouth more than it should do.
Research suggests that approximately 1 in 10 babies are born with tongue tie and many of these suffer with reduced tongue function, making breast or bottle feeding difficult.
It affects both mother and baby...
