Hello Friends,

I wanted to give you all an update on my son who was refusing to nurse post
frenulectomy.  I am sad to report that he is still refusing to nurse and I
do believe it is officially over.  After a week of tears, I feel better
about the situation.  Although I would still prefer to mother him at my
breast, I have learned to mother him in other ways.  We have slowly adjusted
and I am wearing him more and he is allowing me to cuddle him again after
some refusal of even a cuddle the first week post op.   On a side note, he
has been eating solid food like never before.  This is a positive as I felt
that his restricted tongue was one of the reasons for his very slow
transition to solid food.  My guess is he has already gained 2-3 much needed
pounds.  I wish my story had a different ending, but I wanted to thank
everyone who wrote with wonderful ideas and encouragement.  I would write
each one of you back if I had time

Thanks again,

Carrie Thayer mom to 2, RN, BSN, IBCLC
