One though provoking question. Why are doctors regarded as the only folk who are able to clip a frenulum? Or is my impression wrong? Do any LC's or RN's perform this procedure? Reminds me of the old days when only doctors were allowed to do blood pressure readings. I ask this question because I'm not sure that it is always in the mothers interest to be passed from provider to provider and end up having the procedure done by a total stranger who possibly knows very little about the breastfeeding process. Maybe this should be part of the basic skills required for the IBLCE?
