Thanks to Catherine, Nicole & Alison for responding to my post about the baby
with no frenulum. But I guess I didn't do a good job of explaining what I
meant! Rather than his tongue being fused to the floor of the mouth, it is
just the opposite. It is loose, and there is no discernable "flap" of skin
connecting the tongue to the floor of the mouth. His tongue cups the breast
well, and undulation was noted during a finger assessment. Maybe this isn't a
problem? I would guess that tongue control would be affected. Mom is still
experiencing nipple pain, and her milk supply is seriouly diminished. Only
able to express 1/2 oz. or less with electric pump.
TIA if you have any ideas about this!
