Hun, please don't feel bad. DS1 had a tongue-tie also and we only discovered by accident when he was 2 weeks that that was the reason he couldn't attach. Before that a couple of the midwives had mentioned that he had one, but didn't think it was causing a problem. We were just very, very lucky that we saw a doctor who specialises in t-t - we went there for something else! He ended up having it snipped at 3 weeks and it was very easy and painless.
I am sure it will be fine hun. I know of people who have had it done in older babies and it hasn't been as bad as they were expecting. I hope this is true for you also. And definitely don't feel guilty - it's the health system that's let you down.
dont feel bad hun! DD had one and we had it snipped at 9 weeks and it wasnt that bad at all! as soon as it was done and the doc was finished i stuck a bottle in her gob and that was it! no tears, no bleeding! :hugs: i think its harder on us mums than it is for the bubs, just like immunisations, we stress they dont care all that much! good luck sweets she'll be fine i promise
Thanks MR and Skybie - i feel a little bit better about it - i know it will make things easier for her, and in the long run she will benifit - but im just so upset it wasnt discovered sooner. I beat my self up and cried for ages when i gave up BFing, and to think if this was found i would prob still be BFing! Oh well i guess no point in dwelling on the "what could of beens", is there?
Hopefully it wont hurt my bubba girl too much! i cried with her when she got her needles and im sure going to cry with her when she gets this done! life can be cruel, but i guess there are worst things out there.
im sure come the next day she will forget about it!
Thanks for telling me about ur experiences with t-t!
Ooooooo tomorrow is D day and im soooo feeling sick about it!
Poor B has been sick with a cold the past few days too and is just starting to feel better, so im feeling extra bad for what is about to happen tomorrow for her!
Im thinking i should cancel and give her a break a bit - but the appt was hard to get and the longer i leave it the worse it might be for her.... or should i cancel?
Incase anyone is interested B had the snip done today!
Broke my heart hearing her scream, but she is as happy as Larry now! However still not drinking! im hoping thats okay and things will be fine tomorrow!
