We have temporarily re-opened this survey, and would like to hear from just a few more moms of babies who experienced issues with one or more tethered oral tissues!
We are especially looking for input from moms who decided NOT to have the tissue(s) clipped (or lasered). With your feedback, we can finalize our questions and then roll out our full survey!

And feel free to share! Just remember, if you are not eligible for this project, we will have lots more opportunities in the future :) Thanks
