Ros et al Funny I too saw a thick labial frenulum this week on a premie doing rather well (but a bit tuckered at the breast HOWEVER mum is overabundant by day 2 with milk) thank heavens my job will Be easy......I did ask a local peds dentist if this could be a problem? he didn't think it would impact Brf all else being normal but that the baby should have a first dentist appt at 1 year to rule out a "cyst" that could be underlying the frenulum and would need to be "dealt with" if it should be there......Hey is Brian Palmer out there anymore! I notified the mom to be aware of it and not to worry but that the baby may look a bit like David Letterman she laughed, is not worried at all.....as of today.....ruthy.
