Study Summary

We are proposing to conduct a randomized, controlled trial of newborns in the maternal infant care areas at Tampa General Hospital. Participants who are determined eligible for the study (classified to have ankyloglossia via the HATLFF and either a Class III or IV maxillary labial frenum) will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: Group A or Group B. Group A will receive a sham procedure for intervention #1 and a lingual frenotomy procedure for intervention #2. Group B will receive a lingual frenotomy procedure for intervention #1 and a sham procedure for intervention #2. Newborns that continue to have difficulty with breastfeeding after both interventions will undergo intervention #3, a labial frenotomy, and breastfeeding will be monitored afterwards.

Primary Outcome

This visual pain analog scale is used to measure breastfeeding pain experienced by the mother.
