Improvement in problematic feeding symptoms for infants with lip-tie and tongue-tie after frenotomy

In this study, we compared symptoms of problematic feeding, as measured by the Neonatal Eating Assessment Tool (NeoEAT), before and 2 weeks after frenotomy in 84 infants with tongue-tie and lip-tie. We found that NeoEAT scores were significantly lower (i.e., improved) after frenotomy.
