Presentation Information
From Feeding Tube to Fully Breastfeeding: A Case Study of Delayed Frenotomy
- Speaker: Asti Praborini , MD, Pediatrician, IBCLC, FABM
- Presentation Type:
- Duration: 60 Mins
- Credits: 1 CERP, 1 Nursing CEU, 1 CME
Abstract:
Tongue tie reduces pharyngeal pressure by restricting the tongue's range of motion, which has a significant effect on the oral phase of swallowing. A lingual frenotomy facilitates the mobility of the tongue during swallowing by releasing the tension in the frenulum. This study describes a 36-day-old female newborn with feeding difficulties due to a tongue tie, resulting in malnutrition. Through careful and thorough assessment of the tongue's function and the breastfeeding history, the baby went from dependence on a feeding tube to breastfeeding. This presentation will demonstrate the importance of detailed assessment, examination, and treatment of the breastfeeding dyad, particularly in very serious cases of malnutrition and poor growth.
