Hello Wise Ones,
I have a question that I am not sure how to research.
I was with a couple the other night whose baby's bilirubin went up to 25,
and was hospitalized for 24 hours and came home at 14. The couple are Asian.
The baby has a tongue-tie. They are very thorough, lots of questions and
detailed note taking. They asked about stats on tongue-tie. Luckily I packed
by lovely Breastfeeding Atlas and found stats for them: a 1948 Japanese
study found an incidence rate of 59.2 percent, a Swedish study found an
incidence rate of 2.5 % and another study found a 4.8 % rate in U.S.
hospitals.
I am wondering if there is a higher jaundice rate in the Asian population
due to the higher incidence of tongue-tie?
Has anyone studied this?
The other thing that I wonder if any one has studied: why do parents care
more about possible future speech problems than they do about actual current
breastfeeding problems. Ah, but this is a rant for another day.
Thank you all,
Leigh Anne In NYC,
who saw two tongue-ties in a row (i hate when that happens)
