    Just thought i would quickly pop in and say it has been almost 2wks since B has had this done and she wont stop sticking her little tongue out! soooo cute!
    so very glad that we went ahead and did it!
    however come time for bub number 2 instead of checking for 10 fingers and toes i will be checking for tongue tie!!!

    DS has tongue tie....at every check up i always get the nurse to look, but every time she tells me the same thing 'Its not to bad, he is drinking fine so dont worry'...but i do...he cant stick his tongue out and when he tries he gets a W tongue

    Kim - I was told that also at every check up - i was also told that it will fix its self eventually - but i didn't want to take any risks - and risks B have speech problems etc later in life - so i thought while she is little may aswell get it fixed - i thought about it ALOT!!! and now im SO glad we got it done!
    she had a V shape when sticking her tongue out!
    Its totally up too you but in all honesty - i recommend getting it done!

    Sorry I've only just found this thread!
    Hj1981 - Glad to hear your DD's snip was a success! It is fantastic watching them poke their tongues out huh?

    Harrison had his TT snipped at 5 weeks. It made a huge difference to how he fed from me... straight after it was done he went on the boob and fed properly for the first time, no nipple shields, just me and him... it was fantastic.
    He is 2 now and very cheeky... he pokes his tongue out at us and we feel happy that he can do so... even watching him lick ice cream makes us happy because if he hadn't had the snip done, he wouldn't ever have been able to do those things.
