Abstract

This article, titled "The Mysterious Latch," discusses the author's experience counseling women on breastfeeding. The author acknowledges that breastfeeding is not always successful, but emphasizes the importance of supporting new mothers mentally. The author admits to struggling with counseling on the latch, as a man, and believes that even trained lactation consultants find it challenging. The article mentions the recent clinical report by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), which states that the impact of releasing a tight lingual frenulum on breastfeeding is unclear. The author concludes by suggesting that there may be a small number of cases where tongue-tie affects nursing and highlights the importance of lactation consultants in addressing breastfeeding difficulties.
