Abstract

Breastfeeding is considered the best source of nutrition for babies. Ankyloglossia, or tongue tie, is an alteration in the lingual frenulum that can interfere with this process.

Aim

To explore the potential factors related to ankyloglossia that influence breastfeeding, for both infant and mother.

Method

Scoping review, following the JBI steps, in the Cochrane, CINAHL, Embase, LILACS, Pubmed and BDENF databases. A total of 1174 articles were found.

Results

46 articles made up the study sample, comprising four themes: (1) Maternal experience; (2) Epidemiology; (3) Infant difficulties; (4) Breastfeeding interventions and changes.

Conclusion

Ankyloglossia was associated with breastfeeding difficulties and its assessment was more effective when two or more instruments were used. Frenotomy was relatively effective for resuming breastfeeding. The production of knowledge about the relationship between ankyloglossia and breastfeeding helps nurses to update scientific evidence.

母乳喂养被认为是婴儿最好的营养来源。方法按照 JBI 的步骤，在 Cochrane、CINAHL、Embase、LILACS、Pubmed 和 BDENF 数据库中进行范围综述。结果46篇文章构成了研究样本，包括四个主题：（1）母亲的经历；（2）流行病学；（3）婴儿的困难；（4）母乳喂养的干预和改变。膈肌切开术对恢复母乳喂养相对有效。有关强直性舌炎与母乳喂养之间关系的知识有助于护士更新科学证据。
