I ahve seen this video. It was shown to the attendees of the first ABM
(Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine) meeting Oct 96. A more receptive, pro-
BFing audience than most. It was not received well. It is NOT a randomized,
controlled trial - just an anectdotal series of infants. It did not prove
anything, other than Dr. Jain was doing a procedure well, whether ot not it
was indicated. As far as I know there is no official AAP policy re
frenulectomy - there is nothing in the 1998 Policy Reference Guide. But just
like circumcisions, the jury is still out.
