Tongue Tie??

Question

Any mummies in here have experience with tongue ties?
My son has one and they noticed it after I gave birth but they didn’t do anything about it because they said it seemed like he was feeding fine
Well he’s 3 weeks old now and I can’t seem to get him to settle after a feed
I try and breast feed him but he loosens his suck and I think he just eventually gets tired and gives up and just sits there with my nipple in his mouth
I try and top him up with formula or EBM afterwards and some times he flat out refuses it and other times he drinks a little but still won’t go down afterwards and he’ll just sit there and cry or other times he’ll still go to sleep but wake up 20 minutes later still hungry 😩
My supply has also decreased ALOT I was easily pumping 100mls each side now I’m lucky to get 30mls a side

Answer

My son had it and on his lip and they noticed also after birth and we had major feeding problems and it was so tiring and difficult and I had 2 doctors say he didn’t need it clipped but all the lactation specialists telling me feeding wouldn’t get better if it wasn’t clipped after 3 doctors finely got the referral to have it clipped I hope you don’t have to go through what I did with it and I’d suggest talking to your pediatrician to get it
Clipped

Answer

Look into a specialist to get him revised. If you are on facebook, there is a tongue and lip tie support group where you can ask questions and posy pictures. But to me it sounds like he needs to have the tie released.

Answer

My son is too, he can't breastfeed for more than 10 mins at a time. They have to suck harder than they would on a bottle. So they clipped my son's tongue in office. He wasn't hurt, no bleeding, he's fine. He's feeding better than he was and is gaining weight at a really good rate now. The dr says his tongue tie is pretty "impressive" though, so at about 6 months they may have to have a dentist cut it with a laser. They will watch it until then. His seems to be stretching some in the last few days, so I'm hoping he can avoid the surgery all together, although 3 people I know with experience said it was super easy on their kid. I'd say be more persistent with his pediatrician...or just take him to the dentist and see what they say. It was actually a dentist that diagnosed my friends son with tongue tie, he was already in 3rd grade and had spent 2 years in speech therapy (due to the tongue tie they didn't know about )
