ABSTRACT

In the last years it has been given a special attention to the length of breastfeeding, exclusively in the first six months of life, therefore, there are several studies for the management of feeding difficulties in the neonatal period; ankyloglossia is an alteration that can limit the correct oral-motor functioning, which can restrict lingual movements limiting the correct feeding of the newborn baby, because of the lack of ability to stay attached to the breast, causing maternal nipple pain during breastfeeding. To solve this problem the lingual frenotomy has been proposed; the objective of this review is to evaluate the effect of ankyloglosia in the feeding performance of the newborn baby, as well as the impact of the lingual frenotomy in the resolution of the feeding difficulties.
