What are the chances of baby's oral anatomy affecting mothers latch and what can be done if there are anatomical issues?

Hi there! I see that you have a concern regarding oral anatomical issues affecting breastfeeding. I'd do my best to explain! The most common oral anatomical issue these days is the tongue tie. Up to 5% of newborns may have tongue tie, and it is more common among boys than girls. The best way to go about it is to get your baby assessed by a Paediatrician or a Paediatric Dentist. A release procedure may be recommended if it has been observed to affect breastfeeding. Hope this clarifies!
