Been sending moms to a certain local pediatrician who has done frenotomies  
in past and claims to be able to do oral assessment and will see baby for a  
single one time visit.  However, repeatedly, he tells moms that "there is  no 
frenulum" whatever that means (I would prefer he say there is not a "tight"  
frenulum) and then says, "Well, just keep on trying."  Oh great.  I  have come to 
think that the only tongue ties he treats are those very basic  and very 
obvious ones with heart shaped tongue.   So today, this has  happened once again 
and I have decided that I will no longer encourage moms to  see him.  However, 
I do not know how to find out who I should send them  to.  The local ENT is 
not much better, since they have said, "Baby will  outgrow it.  You can just 
bottle feed anyway."  I could check with  some others, but I am just not sure 
where to start.  Any ideas?   Thanks, Ann
