We had this problem too, it wasn't a tongue tie, he just had trouble latching. A doctor looked under his lip and said its "borderline" whatever that means and set us up with a ENT specialist. We missed the appointment and I'm glad we did. Inflicting pain on your infant and modifying their body is not something to be taken lightly. I looked in there, it all looked pretty normal to me.
She pumps and feeds him the milk from a bottle. It was a workable solution. He breastfeeds directly sometimes, he's used to the bottle so it's a little harder for him but it's fine, just a mild inconvenience.
The positive out of this is that he never became a pacifier addict, he couldn't keep it in his mouth without assistance. I think probably it will have no impact on his life as he grows at all.
- Fire-Dragon-DoL 3y agoIt was really heavy from the point of view of pain indeed. In our case our daughter was identified as both having a tongue tie and a lip tie. I can't tell if it's true or not, but I can tell the surgery did save my wife connection with my child, after that they spent a lot of time together. The horrible part is having to rub on the wound for the next 2 weeks to prevent healing. I had to do that and it was devastating. Still worth though, both the my daughter and my wife were heaving serious problems due to this.
