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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to: If a clear link is found, it could guide earlier screening and support for tongue-tie in newborns, potentially improving breastfeeding outcomes.
What could go wrong: This is an observational study, so it can show associations but not prove cause and effect. Results may be influenced by other factors and may not apply to all populations.
