Oh Kay-I wish you had posted 24hrs earlier! I have been working with a family and baby is 5 weeks old and I have been encouraging clipping and they are so on the fence about it-and one reason is they don't want to hurt him. (of course I pointed out that giving him the best in life means doing whatever needs to be done to preserve the breastfeeding relationship.) They did go to ENT today and I am anxious to hear whether they did clip..... 

I haven't had a lot of experience with tongue-tie--for those of you who have, my question is: would you say the majority report a big difference in pain/how baby nurses after? The one mom that I referred reported that it helped "some" (of course I understand that some of it is related to bad habits learned if clipping is done late/or if ENT doesn't clip enough). I am planning on getting Catherine's new book so hopefully this will help me to become more knowledgeable :)
