A reminder: while a frenotomy heals, things may actually get worse for a few
days. I had a client (whose 6 week old baby had a "minor" tongue-tie with
no heart shape) go from terrible feeds to clipping to an afternoon of
wonderful feeds to several days of "as bad as ever" to increasingly good
feeds to fussiness from oversupply, all within 2 weeks.
