Is there such a thing as no frenulum?  A year ago, I saw an infant who
was SGA, questionable rooting reflex, tongue position to the roof of the
mouth and no visible frenulum--tongue seemed attached at the back of the
throat.  Over a months time, infant did latch on for minutes but mother
has ended up pumping only.  Infant had problems with bottlefeeding, too,
until given therapy. Finger-feeding was tried but given up--mom had to
go back to work and felt stressed.  I searched the archives and did not
find anything similiar to this problem. Valerie McClain, IBCLC
