Dear Wise Ones, Please Help. I have worked with several women who took their babies for frenotomies, felt marked improvement in breastfeeding for about two weeks and then their babies went back to their old, pre-frenotomy latching and sucking. Many of them go back for a second clip and in at least one case, the same thing happened after each clip (three times! - at which point she called me and I suggested CST and no more clipping) Its gotten to the point where I hold my breath for 2 weeks after one of my clients takes their baby for a frenotomy - even when the mother is thrilled with the initial results. One of the doctors who is considered an expert in the area, warned one of my mothers that the baby may regress after 2 weeks though he did not tell her why. I did not find any information on this phenomenon. Does anyone understand why the babies do this and what to do about it? Thanks so much, Chayn Fogelman IBCLC Israel *********************************************** Archives: http://community.lsoft.com/archives/LACTNET.html To reach list owners: [log in to unmask] Mail all list management commands to: [log in to unmask] COMMANDS: 1.
