Hey lovely people, I'm having some trouble with feeling guilty over having my 2 week old's tongue and lip ties released. The procedure was a couple hours ago and although she doesn't seem bothered by it at all, I myself can't help but feel bothered. My first daughter is also tied but we chose to not get hers released. I went through a lot of breastfeeding pain and had countless appointments with lactation specialists that went on for months. I always had to use a nipple shield to feed her and dreaded needing to feed her in public because of how finicky it was having to put a shield on first. This time around my second daughter's ties looked worse/tighter and I didn't want to have to go through the hassel of breastfeeding issues again. Currently my midwife has me pumping and I absolutely hate it. I feel like I'm always hooked up to a machine and missing out on bonding time. I realize this is how other mamas live and that's fine but it's not for me. My wish is to just be able to breastfed with no problems. So after researching the procedure, discussing with my husband, and having the consultation, we chose to go ahead. Now that I'm home I look at her and just keep asking myself "did I make the right decision?" Everytime I get a glimpse of under her tongue I can't help but think it looks mutilated and I've put my sweet girl through something awful. Logically I know this is likely for the best as it should help with feeding and eliminate any speech issues she could have had, but my emotional and probably very hormonal side is just running wild with this. I cry while she screams as I do the stretches and don't know how I'm going to make it through the next 4 weeks of this. I guess I'm just looking for some support from other mamas who've already gone through this, and some success stories to help me get through and not beat myself up over putting her through this.
