A tongue-tie (ankyloglossia) is defined as a lingual frenulum that is short, tight and restricts normal tongue movement. The tongue-tied newborn baby then has a mechanical difficulty attaching to his mum's breast and maintaining attachment to feed effectively. In the hands of skilled carers, this mechanical problem can be resolved by releasing the frenulum (frenulotomy) and the baby's access to his/her mother's breast milk be preserved. Published research on this subject has undergone justifiable criticism. Robust methodology was lacking in earlier studies. An overview of the course of researchers' response to critique is discussed. The care pathway in place in mid-Norfolk for mother and baby dyads where the baby's tongue-tie compromises efficient breastfeeding is outlined.
舌系带过短（舌粘连）的定义是舌系带短、紧且限制舌头正常活动。舌系带过短的新生儿在有效附着于母亲乳房并维持这种附着以便进食时会遇到机械性困难。在熟练护理人员的操作下，这个机械性问题可以通过剪开系带（舌系带切开术）来解决，从而使婴儿能够获取母乳。关于这个主题的已发表研究受到了合理的批评。早期研究缺乏严谨的方法。本文讨论了研究人员对批评的回应过程概述。概述了诺福克郡中部针对母婴二元组的护理途径，其中婴儿的舌系带过短会影响有效母乳喂养。
