Hopefully the ENT will clip the submucosal frenulum.
In the meantime, I find telling a mom to use "warm compresses" often does
not cut it for vasospasm. Try an electric heating pad on the "low" setting
for a good 20 minutes after each nursing or pumping. This can help relieve
the burning/discomfort, but the tissue will not be able to heal completely
as long as baby keeps compressing it.
