Once upon a time, in a place called New York, there were many little babies who had a hard time drinking milk from their mommies because of something called tongue-tie. 🍼 Some smart doctors from a big group called the American Academy of Pediatrics noticed that too many babies were getting surgery with scissors and lasers to fix this, even when they didn’t really need it. 💉 Doctor Maya and Doctor Jennifer, who know a lot about babies and how they eat, said that this was happening a lot, maybe more than 100,000 times a year! They also met Doctor Thomas, who thought that before doing surgery, babies should try other ways to eat easily that didn’t hurt. 👶✂️ They all agreed that learning to eat should be happy and not ouchie, and if babies and mommies had troubles, they should talk to many smart helpers before deciding on surgery. And so, the moral to the story is to always look for gentle ways to solve problems and make sure little ones can enjoy their milk happily. 😊👩⚕️👶
