Overview
- About 15 days after birth, Vito underwent a brief intervention to correct a short lingual frenulum that was hindering his latch and causing maternal pain.
- The issue was first flagged by a puericultora; after a fonoaudióloga consult and a week of exercises failed to help, pediatric specialists advised early correction.
- The procedure was performed rapidly in a dentist’s office on an outpatient basis and was not a major surgery.
- Pachano asked followers and media not to label it an operation and said her baby is recovering well and feeding better.
- Vito was born on January 19 via an induced labor that resulted in a natural delivery, and the family reports strong support as lactation continues to stabilize.
