The impact of Paediatric Ankyloglossia on exclusive breastfeeding in Portugal: an online survey on mother's experiences.
Positive measures in the maternity ward, such as breastfeeding support, skin-on-skin contact, along with early initiation of breastfeeding within the first hour after birth, contribute to EBFP for up to six months and evaluation of the lingual frenulum. These findings underscore the importance of consistent breastfeeding support and highlight an increased emphasis on ankyloglossia assessment during the COVID-19 pandemic.
