IMO if a baby needs a TT release, the baby needs bodywork, irrespective of any other cause. I refer my babies pre-release to prepare them for the release and encourage them to be seen within 48 hours after release, continuing until the baby has achieved full function. This is not different from having PT after having a broken leg casted. The TT release itself is reason enough for bodywork. I also give the mothers myofunctional exercises to do pre-release and for three weeks after release. If you haven't see the wound though, I would also want to see it to ensure there has been a complete release. 

Greetings!
I am working with a Mom and her 10 week old baby. Mom has improved the milk supply and her technique. Baby had a frenotomy two weeks ago. Baby still takes long meals  (about an hour) with lots of stops and starts, occasional clamping down. Frenulum was checked after a week,  by surgeon, who feels it was open enough. I still haven't seen it. Baby will not suck on finger to do any suck training and mom feels he "doesn't like it". After all, baby does get satisfied and is gaining weight normally. Mom is very concerned what will be when she goes back to work, when she will not be able to dedicate endless hours to feeds. I was thinking that the next step might be CST – though there were no birth interventions, no asymmetry or other reason that I would usually refer on. 
I would appreciate your input, I am not sure i have given enough details, what have I missed?  What might be the next step?
Thanks for being there!
