Help/advice – Tongue tied diagnosed in 6 week old

[Phteven]

If she's still young enough to get it snipped without the GA I would get it done now.
DS2 had to have it done under a GA when he was a toddler and it became apparent that it was causing speech issues. It was rather stressy for me and he was sore afterwards and of course a GA always have risks that are best avoided.

DS had a tounge tie, Paed snipped it about day 4 I think. DH had to go with him, I couldn't go. Anyhoo, Paed said there could be issues with feeding, speech and dental hygine. Our Paed actually had a tounge tie and he said he wished his mum had had his snipped but they didn't do it when he was a baby.

my DS2 has a mild tonge tie that was picked up at his 6 week check, hes nearly 3 months and the docs say to leave it for now as he is BF without hurting me (but it did hurt the first 2 weeks) and gaining weight normally . We will be seeing a ped in april as he has a belly button hernia and a slightly diolated kidney so im sure the ped will let us know what is best for the lil fellow.

he is a bit of a sloppy feeder now and does a lot of dribbling as he feeds dont know if that has anything to do with a tounge tie
