I agree with Pat.  We should not do frenotomies just because nothing  
has specifically said we should not.  I'm sure if word got out about  
it, the medical community, MDs, DDSs, CNPs, everyone, would be up in  
arms.  It's just like the situation with medications. There are many  
times we know better than the woman's MD that she can take a  
particular medication and continue to breastfeed, but if we start  
telling her that her doctor doesn't know what he/she's talking about  
that will not go over well when word gets back to the doc. We have to  
try to educate the medical community, sometimes through the moms,  
sometimes directly.
