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 by 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 sharing knowledge and experience. 



MEET THE COMMITTEE

"Research suggests that approximately 1 in 10 babies may be born with restrictive membrane under the tongue."

What is a Tongue-Tie?

.....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.
