Tethered Oral Tissues (TOTs) and Breastfeeding

Are you and your child struggling when it comes to breastfeeding? Dr. Kotlow has written an excellent article on  "TOTS - Tethered Oral Tissues: The Assessment and Diagnosis of the Tongue and Upper Lip Ties in Breastfeeding". 

Here is an abstract from the article written by Dr. Kotlow:

"The roll of tethered oral tissues (TOTS) such as an infant's tongue and upper lip attachment are often overlooked or dismissed as cause of infant distress or maternal  discomfort during breastfeeding. Successful resolution of problems and understanding of these two structures depend on simple, easy and safe methods of diagnosis and treatment."
