Abstract:
Conservative estimations report that the number of frenotomies globally has tripled in the past 10 years. Breastfeeding/chestfeeding parents seek help on the internet, social media, support groups, lactation consultants, physicians, midwives, and other healthcare professionals and are frequently sent straight to a release provider without the care of the other providers. However, a tongue or lip tie is not always the cause of the feeding problems the dyad is experiencing. This session will provide information on assessment, diagnostic tools, comorbidities, treatments, and complicated case studies to broaden your knowledge about ankyloglossia.
Learning Objectives:
1: Name at least two (2) frenotomy assessment scoring tools to use with infants in their practice.
2: Discuss at least three (3) possible effects of ankyloglossia for infants.
3: List at least two (2) comorbidities that are possible in infants with ankyloglossia.
