Review how babies with Tongue Tie are diagnosed and treated

Petition Details

Tongue-tie is where the skin joining a baby's tongue to the bottom of their mouth is shorter than usual. The condition can cause difficulties for the infant, especially when feeding.

Additional Information

My son was born with tongue tie and had trouble feeding, but the condition was not immediately identified as the reason. Many months passed and I found it difficult to find suitable treatment within the NHS. I would like the Government to review how doctors check for this condition, especially when a baby has trouble feeding, and the treatment that is offered when it is identified. If the condition was diagnosed and treated early it could have saved us distress and discomfort. Mums & Baby’s need your support!
