I love hearing all these stories about frenotomies.  I am so blessed  to be 
where I am in NYC so close to Dr Betty Coryllos.  I have "assisted"  in at 
least 8 or more procedures in the last year or so.  I have heard all  those horror 
stories of doctors not wanting moms to go ahead with it.  
 
I am dealing with my neighbors 2 yr old this is a type 2 simple and since  
her two brothers were clipped 6 mths ago - she has missed every appt due to an  
ear infection or cold.  The twin boys were 4 1/2 - no breast feeding  problems 
at all and nursed over a year - she nursed over 18 mths.  Mom is  frustrated 
due to the doctors not wanting to do the procedure due to her health  - 
because she would be under general. The speech problems with the 5 yr old  twins is 
horrendous even with speech therapy,  I believe that we could hold  down this 
2 yr old, Dr Coryllos doesnt use general.  We will see what  happens next 
week.  
 
If anyone is interested there will be a great conference in Sept in Long  
Island New York with Dr Coryllos and Catherine Watson Genna - both pioneers in  
the frenulum issue.  You can contact Kathy Mirra @ [log in to unmask]  for 
more information.  
 
I am so happy that we are all learning to look for this problem - so many  
babies and moms will be helped.
