Resumen
Introduction. Ankyloglossia appears as a limiting condition, in some cases it does not interfere with lactation, presenting anatomophysiological adaptations of the frenulum to the mother's breast; it is more elastic and less fibrous. The objective was to establish whether there is a relationship between lingual frenulum alterations and breastfeeding. Methods. Cross-sectional correlational descriptive research. The population under study was evaluated through the “Protocol for evaluating the frenulum of the tongue with scores for babies”. Results. A 29% prevalence of alterations in the lingual frenulum was identified, the anatomophysiology of the frenulum and suction are dependent and statistically significant. Conclusions. Breastfeeding and the anatomophysiology of the altered lingual frenulum known as ankyloglossia are strongly dependent, since in the presence of ankyloglossia there is not an adequate grip of the nipple in the oral cavity; however, in some cases it has been It has been proven that infants carry out adaptation processes in order to compensate for difficulties in tongue mobility and feeding.
