Re: Efficacy of Neonatal Release of Ankyloglossia: A Randomized Trial

[Guest guest]

Now, if only we could have doctors trained to recognise tongue and labial ties while they are in medical school!This morning I saw a 2 week old baby whose mother was in agony every time she nursed. Why was I, a lowly IBCLC, able to see the adhesions when the pediatrician, the midwife and the RN IBCLC in the hospital all asserted there was no tie?

The good news is that the mother now knows where to get it fixed.normaNorma Ritter, IBCLC, RLCBreastfeeding Matters in the Capital Regionwww.NormaRitter.com
