Lip tie experience?

Question

Has anyone had problems breastfeeding because of a lip tie?

-Did you get your child's lip tie clipped/lasered?

- Did it help?

-How old was your child when the procedure was done?

I have a 2 month old and just found out her lip tie is the reason for her low weight gain in the beginning, breastfeeding issues, gas, drooling, etc. Trying to decide what to do by the end of this week. I'd LOVE to be able to exclusively breastfeed for a year but I don't want to put my baby through an unnecessary or painful surgery.

Answer

We didn't do a revision. Our baby gets adjusted by a chiropractor and they do lip exercises when necessary. Our baby feeds like a champ from me; and he'll drink breast milk from a bottle.

Answer

My son was tongue tied. I got it clipped at three weeks and he breast-fed way better.

Answer

It's worth doing. Over in a second and yeah, there can be some pain for a little while but it can be worth it if you want to breastfeed. There may also be a learning curve as far as learning how to latch without the tie. 
Find out the pros and cons of having it done but risk wise, there is little as long as someone experienced does it. 
I would be pissed though, it should have been caught sooner.

Answer

Even if you choose not to get it clipped now, you may have to do it later in life as it can affect speech (just so you know).

Answer

It's a very easy and quick procedure. Lip ties can affect them well into adulthood too, so it's best to get taken care of now.
