Ameliorations of breast-feeding problems after Correction of the Glosso-Larynx (CGL) were investigated by questionnaire survey to one hundred thirty six breast-feeding mothers. The amelioration rates after one month were as follows: breast pain (100%), blisters on the nipple (100%), gulping of the breast milk (96%), stopping breathing during suckling (95%), mastitis (93%), nipple pain (93%) suffocating while suckling (89%), stiffness in the breast (89%), vomiting (88%), detaching from the nipple while feeding (86%), feeling of milk remaining after feeding (86%), white debris on the tongue (85%) and cracks of the nipple (85%). The mothers' comments after the CGL were as follows; suckling became soft and smooth (70%), feeding time became shorter (66%) and feeding became their joy (85%). N All studied symptoms greatly changed for the better after the CGL and the mothers were content with the results. Key words: Ankyloglossia with deviation of the epiglottis and larynx (ADEL), correction of the glosso-larynx (CGL), brast-feeding, feeding problems.
