Ankyloglossia is a congenital anomaly which may reduce or
restrict the tongue tip mobility. The restricted mobility is
caused by an unusual short, thick lingual frenum. This
condition may cause various problems in infants including
breastfeeding in the new-borns. This case report describes 3
cases of ankyloglossia affecting breastfeeding and highlights
the experiences of the mothers and their difficulties in
breastfeeding babies with it. Comprehensive feeding
examination was accomplished, the primary cause of feeding
issues was identified, and frenotomy intervention was provided.
Post frenotomy, infants were able to breastfeed easily and this
was beneficial in continuation of breastfeeding and pain
reduction in mothers.
