<<As one who  doesn't work directly with nursing mothers and babies, how  
frequently  is frenotomy necessary? Is is hereditary? Is this  
something I should  be bringing up in childbirth classes when I talk  
about bf, or is it  uncommon enough that I shouldn't worry about it.  
If I should bring it  up, what should I say to a class of couples  
expecting their first baby  in the next few weeks?>>


 
 
Two weeks ago I would have  said "uncommon".  This week and last I swear we 
are running a special on  them.  In my "normal" population (meaning I see 
normal moms and babies as  well as ones that are having difficulties) I've had 4 
out of 5 babies with tight  frenula.  When I saw the baby today, I was beginning 
to think we were  running a special on them....
