Welcome to the . . .
Association of
Tongue-tie Practitioners®
providing access to information and support regarding infant tongue-tie.
Who are we?
The Association of Tongue-tie Practitioners (ATP) was set up in 2012 by a group of tongue-tie practitioners from both NHS and independent sectors.
Our aim is to increase awareness about the effects of a tongue-tie restriction on babies, especially regarding both breast and bottle feeding.
We support the care-givers of tongue-tie babies by providing access to care through our members, who are trained healthcare professionals — appropriately registered, regulated, and professionally insured.
We help and support our members to provide safe and effective care through training and the sharing of knowledge and experience. We are now proud to hold registered charity status, marking an exciting new chapter in our mission to support families and practitioners.
"Research suggests that approximately 1 in 10 babies may be born with restrictive membrane under the tongue. . .
. . . but only about half of those babies display significantly reduced tongue function, making breast or bottle feeding difficult.
These babies may benefit from treatment to release the restriction that the membrane is having on the tongue, and enable a baby to feed effectively."
