Yeah.
There's a lot of folks ignorantly commenting here who haven't held a baby who is struggling to get enough calories - both from a boob and from formula - equating tongue tie release with circumcision.
Is it over proscribed? In that is a medical practice that earns money, I'm 100% sure it is.
Is breastfeeding oversold as a one-size-fits-all panacea? Absolutely.
But anyone who has held a baby who was going through a terrifying struggle to maintain a healthy weight - both on and off boob - knows that tongue tie release is not optional for some babies.
