I believe a frenotomy would be considered to be a surgical procedure and in
the US this can only be performed by an MD, DO, or DDS. I know that in some
areas of the US (CA) an NP or PA can be trained in their own facility to
perform such tasks, but it would be a real stretch for LCs to get legal
permission to do this in the US. I don't think we want to go there just
now. We are being accepted as part of the allied health team and that's a
big step forward in 20+ years of existence! I think we'd open a huge can
of worms to suggest that we can do surgery at this point in our
evolution (as much as most of us would like to!) What's next? Incising
abcesses?
No, we just have to train peds, obs, ENTs etc that this needs to be done
and how to do it. Get Dr Jain's video and tote it around. Lend it to moms
to take to the dr for their visit. Show it to any dr who is BF friendly and
will sit still. Persistence, patience, repetition - they will finally get
it. and send that ENT she went to as many articles as you can! :-) Pat in
