Wow, I'd love to see if all the advice he gives out is similarly
backed up. IMHO, such a study would be unethical--as it would be
unethical to deny the control group the benefits of frenotomy.
Perhaps another way to study the issue would be to do pre-feed and
post-feed weights before and after the procedure.
