I ahve seen this video.  It was shown to the attendees of the first ABM
(Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine) meeting Oct 96.  A more receptive, pro-
BFing audience than most.  It was not received well.  It is NOT a randomized,
controlled trial - just an anectdotal series of infants.  It did not prove
anything, other than Dr. Jain was doing a procedure well, whether ot not it
was indicated.  As far as I know there is no official AAP policy re
frenulectomy - there is nothing in the 1998 Policy Reference Guide. But just
like circumcisions, the jury is still out.
