Tongue tie?

Question

My SO has a tongue tie so the chance is higher for our baby. Im just wondering if there's any healing process or anything for the baby after its snipped? Tips are extremely appreciated as well! Thank you!

Answer

I've heard it is hereditary but there's nicer any guarantee! Tongue and lip ties cause serious pain for mom when breastfeeding and cause a number of issues in babies often mistaken for other issues such as colic or reflux. And often they aren't able to get enough milk due to insufficient latching. My son had both ties and had them released with a laser the healing get is much quicker! The procedure its self was quick he didn't like being held down by me but other than that he was fine and nursed right after the procedure. I really recommend getting it done if your baby ends up having one. Trust me that breastfeeding is a nightmare with the ties. Plus the gas can be very painful for the little ones since they're sucking in so much air. Hopefully this isn't even an issue for you but if it is, just know getting it fixed relatively painless as an infant and the healing is super quick. The log term benefits are so worth it! Good luck!!

I had a tie clipped when I was 13-14 I'm now 19. Its not bad at all. The dr numbed the area under my tongue then he clipped and stitched it up and I was out of there within half an hour. It didn't take long to heal at all maybe two-three days and honestly it didn't hurt at all it was just weird to try and talk but nothing got messef up and I was able to get my tongue pierced even.. therr isn't like any scar tissue.  I will for sure have my sons done if he has it because I would rather take care of it before it could become a problem. I'm not sure if its passed from the parents or not. I think it's just how the baby growz.

What is tongue tie does it cause problem dumb question but I'm curious to know

Answer

I work for an oral surgeon and we clip tongues and lips frequently when they are tethered to tightly. I've only ever done it on kids and adults, but it is a very simple procedure and healing time is typically less than a week. It's as uncomfortable as having any other cut in the mouth, more bothersome than anything else. Stitches are usually dissolvable.
