Anquiloglosia - Symptom

Nombres alternativos

Cortedad anormal del frenillo lingual; Frenillo lingual

Síntomas:

En un recién nacido o en un bebé, los síntomas de anquiloglosia son similares a los síntomas en cualquier niño que esté teniendo problemas con la lactancia materna, incluyendo:

  • Actuar de manera irritable o melindrosa, incluso después de comer
  • Dificultad para iniciar o mantener la succión. El bebé puede resultar cansado en uno o dos minutos o quedarse dormido antes de alimentarse lo suficiente.
  • Poco aumento de peso o pérdida de peso
  • Problemas para prenderse al pezón. En lugar de esto, el bebé puede simplemente masticar el pezón.

La madre lactante puede tener problemas con el dolor en las mamas, conductos galactóforos taponados o mamas adoloridas y se puede sentir frustrada.

Pruebas y exámenes:

La mayoría de los expertos no recomiendan que los médicos examinen a los recién nacidos en busca de anquiloglosia a menos que haya problemas con la lactancia.

La mayoría de los médicos sólo consideran la posibilidad de anquiloglosia cuando:

  • La madre y el bebé han tenido problemas para iniciar la lactancia
  • La madre ha recibido al menos dos o tres días de apoyo de un especialista en lactancia materna
