Jennifer,
I agree with you about the importance of clipping all the tie. It is so
important to get the posterior part clipped too. When I first started
doing this procedure some years ago I didn't always clip the posterior
tie. The result was that although the feeding improved markedly, some of
the babies didn't get back to exclusive breastfeeding and had to return
for us to finish the job! Now I make sure I get the whole thing done in
one go and have much better results.
There doesn't seem to be any point in leaving the posterior part.
