I recently had the opportunity to speak with Veronica Jacobson, CLC, regarding tongue tie and the impact on breastfeeding. We discussed the following:

Why is there more awareness of the issue now versus 5 or 10 years ago?
What is the biggest hurdle to getting HCPs to understand tongue and lip ties and the health effects?
Why do posterior tongue ties need to be taken more seriously as something that needs fixed?
What kind of research is currently being done on the subject?
What's your advice to parents who are having a tough time getting a pediatrician or other HCP to take their concerns about a possible tongue or lip tie?
