Tongue-Tie and breastfeeding: a closer look at the first six months
NCT ID NCT07757503
First seen Aug 11, 2026 · Last updated Aug 12, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows about 146 mother-infant pairs to see if tongue-tie (ankyloglossia) affects how well breastfeeding goes. Newborns are checked for tongue-tie within their first 72 hours using the TABBY tool, and breastfeeding effectiveness is measured with the LATCH scale. The researchers also track how long mothers breastfeed, any pain they feel, and their satisfaction over the first six months. The goal is to better understand the real impact of tongue-tie on breastfeeding.
