frenectomy<\/h2>\n<p>Even after a frenectomy, sensitive and professionally sound support is crucial to ensure that breastfeeding improves in the long term.<\/p>\n<p>I will be there for you and your baby immediately after the procedure and in the weeks that follow. I will help you both to re-establish a comfortable breastfeeding routine and show you how you can actively support the healing process. An important part of this is guided wound care, to ensure that the tissue heals properly and that your baby\u2019s newly regained tongue mobility is maintained.  <\/p>\n<p>I also work once a week at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kinderzahnarzt-brunnen.ch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Natascha Trapp's paediatric dental practice<\/a><\/strong> in Brunnen. This enables me to provide seamless support, in close consultation with the practice, throughout the entire process \u2013 from the initial assessment to follow-up care in the patient\u2019s daily life. <\/p>\n<p>The aim is to guide you safely through this delicate process, address any concerns you may have, and help you achieve a more relaxed and pain-free breastfeeding experience, step by step.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_button_module_wrapper et_pb_button_5_wrapper\"><a class=\"et_pb_button_5 et_pb_button et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\" href=\"https:\/\/rahel-ineichen.ch\/kontakt\/\">Request support<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_13 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_2 et-last-child et_flex_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_image_5 et_pb_image et_pb_module et_flex_module\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rahel-ineichen.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/pexels-matvalina-12169657-scaled.jpg\" title=\"pexels-matvalina-12169657\" width=\"1707\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rahel-ineichen.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/pexels-matvalina-12169657-scaled.jpg 1707w, https:\/\/rahel-ineichen.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/pexels-matvalina-12169657-1280x1920.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/rahel-ineichen.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/pexels-matvalina-12169657-980x1470.jpg 980w, https:\/\/rahel-ineichen.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/pexels-matvalina-12169657-480x720.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 1707px, 100vw\" class=\"wp-image-677\" \/><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_section_7 et_pb_section et_section_specialty et_pb_equal_columns et_pb_gutters3 et_block_section marie_team2\" id=\"marie_light_background\"><div class=\"et_pb_row et_block_row\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_14 et_pb_column et_pb_specialty_column et_pb_column_1_2 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_row_inner_3 et_pb_row_inner et_block_row\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_inner_3 et_pb_column_inner et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_image_6 et_pb_image et_pb_module et_flex_module\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rahel-ineichen.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/cute-baby-scaled.jpg\" title=\"cute-baby\" width=\"1707\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rahel-ineichen.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/cute-baby-scaled.jpg 1707w, https:\/\/rahel-ineichen.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/cute-baby-1280x1920.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/rahel-ineichen.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/cute-baby-980x1470.jpg 980w, https:\/\/rahel-ineichen.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/cute-baby-480x720.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 1707px, 100vw\" class=\"wp-image-652\" \/><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_15 et_pb_column et_pb_column_single et_pb_column_1_2 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_21 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><strong>Literature<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_22 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h3>Accompanying PDFs<br \/>&amp;
