'Posterior' TT and research

[Guest guest]

Oh, I didn't intend to imply we are lacking research related to classical TT,

impaired breastfeeding, and appropriate interventions. I train Lactation

Educators and teach a 20 hour course in support of BFHI, I've got a ton of

references re:ankyloglossia. I appreciate having this list as well though and

will certainly review it, thank-you!

I am implying we are lacking ANY RTC, or quality research studies on

specifically 'Posterior Tongue Tie', that demonstrate an evidence based approach

to interventions. For me I feel like my HCP colleagues will be most receptive to

research as opposed to anecdotal experiences with PTT.

And I am not implying that I don't believe it exists, or is influential. But we

all seem to be experiencing the same frustration related to the lack of

awareness of this issue and its influences by the HCP that would perform the

frenotomy. I'm convinced the solution to increasing awareness is going to be

continued inservices for HCP like so many of us have attended, and published

research that supports the existence of PTT and how it impairs breastfeeding.
