Dear Pat,
I am saddened by the article. I find that having a tight frenulum
released can help breastfeeding tremendously. We do need to be making
sure that we are working on better latching and positioning first
(thanks Nancy Mohrbacher for reminding us of this), all of the things we
do as good IBCLCs. BUT, if over a week with good breastfeeding
management, and the baby presents with a possible tie, having the baby
diagnosed by a qualified practitioner is warranted, in my opinion, and
if that specialist feels the evidence justifies a revision, doing it
helps improve breastfeeding 95% of the time.
This is my clinical experience.
Thank you,
--
