Aftercare See New Thoughts on Infant Post-Frenotomy Care by Melissa Cole

If you think your child has a lip, tongue or other oral tissue tie, you need to have resources to educate yourself. It is also VERY important that you work with an Ibclc to make sure that every effort is made to improve the latch and relieve any pain you may be having first, as other issues can be impacting the situation.
Aftercare is important too and there are many opinions on what and how to do it. I believe it varies with the baby a lot.



See my Bodywork page, but here are additional links on Kellymom.com that I think will help you understand the value for babies struggling to feed well.
