Guest guest Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Dear June, I do what Carroll does and also tell parents that I have a list of mothers who have been through the experience who have given permission for me to give their names and phone numbers if a family needs to speak to someone who has been there. I also give them a handout I made up on what to expect after frenotomy- while explaining that I see a lot of tongue-ties. In my vicinity there is a lot of good bf help available, so moms don't often contact a private practice LC unless they've exhausted other sources of help. My guess is that about 90% (partly because I have a reputation as the go-to-lady to check them out if other LCs were suspicious) of the babies I see have a tongue-tie and close to 95% of those go on to have it clipped. Not all are fully resolved and very few seek a second clipping. I've worked hard to get here. Just a few years ago all my clients who chose to clip went to NY to Dr. Coryllos against the advice of local professionals.
