I talk to them, acknowledging their concerns and then reminding them that 
their baby has already had a heel prick to draw blood - and that clipping a 
TT is no more and possibly less painful, and over quickly.

My suggestion is to connect hestitant moms with a number of moms who have 
been there, done that with the TT revision.. those moms can share about how 
yes, it was a hard decision to make, but how it made such a huge impact on 
their ability to breastfeed. I think this is definitely one area where moms 
may be more willing to trust peers than one LC saying it's beneficial..

Just my two cents as a LLLL (at whose meetings this kind of discussion 
happens frequently)


Very warmly,

Katherine Havener
