Guest guest Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Thank you! I heard all about Les Enfants du Paradis from a former patients daughter! Needless to say I left blushing!!!! I keep meaning to buy the DVD. > > > > I se TT's across all social classes, from the very poor to the very wealthy, so I am not convinced social class has anything to do with the incidence of TT. What may make a difference is that those in deprivation may be less inclined to seek advice. > > I'm really interested in this too. Working within the Breastfeeding Team we see babies very early, certainly within their first week of life. If we see/suspect TT we make a full breastfeeding assessment ( as with every baby/ mother) and then review on day 5 and again as necessary. Some babies have glaringly obvious anterior TT's but if there is no impact on breastfeeding we just monitor the situation. It is very much assessed on an individual basis. The parents are aware that they can be referred at anytime should they start to experience difficulties. > > Reflecting as a student HV, I don't see families until the new birth visit (14 - 16 days). I work within in a different trust who do not have a B/F'ding team. I am seeing babies, who are being formula fed because of the mothers disastrous experience of breastfeeding. Some of these babies have very obvious TT's & it completely disheartens me. I say nothing to the parents. Quite often the mothers are overwhelmed and feel they have 'failed', no mother should ever have that feeling. I am exasperated that a simple referral may have ensured a continuation of breastfeeding. Interestingly both trusts share the same University hospital & consultant. > > Feeling this may have to be part of my research module! > > Garance lawrence ( French name, no French connections just mad parents who thought it maybe trendy to give their daughter a bizzare name in the 70's, most wonder if I am a Mr! ) > Student HV > > > > > ________________________________ > University of Greenwich, a charity and company limited by guarantee, > registered in England (reg. no. 986729).
