What is tongue tie in babies

The tongue is a functional organ that performs important tasks for nutrition and speech. With the sucking reflex that starts at birth, the tongue initiates the first step of feeding. It provides taste and swallowing. It allows him to chew the food evenly by rotating it in the mouth, and to swallow the chewed food by transmitting it to the esophagus. It warms the cold air before it enters the body. It cleans the mouth and teeth. It gives the ability to speak when healthy. There are cases where the tongue has difficulty performing all these tasks. One of them is Ankyloglossia (tongue tie - sublingual tie) problem.
