Breastfeeding problems should be the only relevant criteria for deciding whether to carry out a frenotomy in infancy.
Acta Paediatrica 2018 October
Performing a frenotomy on tongue-tied infants is controversial, particularly with regard to breastfeeding issues. This paper reviews the literature to bring together clinical experiences and scientific evidence in this field. I found that some tongue-tied babies may exhibit breastfeeding problems, while others may feed perfectly. The literature suggests that medical breastfeeding-related problems should be the only relevant criteria to guide the decision-making for a frenotomy in infancy. The advantages and disadvantages of either a wait and see position or surgical approach are addressed.
CONCLUSION: The cornerstones for best practice are the meticulous examination, correct diagnosis and classification of tongue-tied infants.
