Hello to everyone from warm, sunny Central California!  Being from Buffalo, I feel your pain if you are suffering with the extreme cold!  I have recently started responding to nursing mothers on a popular breastfeeding website.  I have been quite surprised at the number of mothers responding to mothers experiencing breastfeeding issues and their advice.  Everyday, nursing mothers post to those having problems to check for "lip ties" and to ask physicians to get them clipped so that their particular problem will be solved.  I see this with any moms experiencing  latch issues, painful nursing, fussing at the breast, making sounds while nursing, etc, etc.  It reminds me of the 1980's when we all thought anyone with sore nipples must have yeast!

So, what am I missing here? Where is this coming from?  I have missed ONE ILCA conference in  25+ years.  Was that the conference that was all about lip ties? 

Anxiously awaiting to hear where this is coming from!

Thanks to all!

Kathleen
