Abstract in brief

The Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine's position statement discusses ankyloglossia, commonly known as tongue-tie, which can affect breastfeeding by limiting a baby's tongue mobility.
The document emphasizes that not all cases of tongue-tie require surgical intervention, and decisions should be based on clinical symptoms and breastfeeding difficulties rather than the presence of the tongue-tie alone.
It recommends a multidisciplinary approach, including assessment by clinicians experienced in lactation and orofacial anatomy, to determine the best course of action for each mother-infant pair.]
