We just discussed this at our NAPNAP conf. I think the reason we are seeing
so many is that so many moms are initiating breastfeeding! In days gone by,
if ob or family dr noted a tie, he fixed it. Mom proceeded to BF without
problem.
Today:
1. Drs don't recognize TT
2. Drs don't realize the impact TT has on BF
3. Drs don't know how to fix it (not trained)
4. Don't believe it occurs so frequently because for so many years it didn't
matter - bottle fed anyway.
I had 11 mothers at LLL mtg last week - 5 were having TT issues!!!!!!!!!!!!
I could see or feel them. Showed one mom how to feel it herself. I am SO
frustrated! Pat in SNJ
