Hello all,
I am working in a breastfeeding clinic in a teaching Family Medicine Center
where there are several Physicians, who are available, if I need them, for
medical reasons. One of the main reasons I would need them for would be a
tongue-tie.
The problem I have is each one of them has their own personal reason of
performing a frenotomy or not. For some if the bb is gaining weight than it
is not necessary to do one. For others if we correct the latch than there
should be no nipple pain. For some if bb is under 2 weeks old they are
reluctant to do it, etc. In my opinion we are not preventing problems. We
are just waiting for complications to happen and then treating them and by
then sometimes it could be too late. Since it is a teaching Centre, I am
also afraid that the residents may not learn the true reasons and benefits
of a frenotomy. So I plan to use a freotomy algorithm, so that everybody
follows the same rules. Does anybody else use one or knows where I could
find one? I would greatly appreciate that.
Thank you in advance,
