At what age did you get you bubs/child tongue tie snipped?
We got Miss B's done around 4mths - we didn't know she had it until i saw the love heart shapped tongue in the bath one day!
Miss Em has it too but it isn't as bad as Miss B's was! i could breast feed Emily no worries! however we are noticing it a little more now, and think we should get it done! but she is now 8mths old
So just wondering how old your bubba's were when you got it done! and how they handled it!
I haven't had kids with tongue tie but I have a few adult friends with it who never had theirs cut - maybe it wasn't done so much back then (actually one of them has a surgeon for a father so he could have just done it himself I guess).
Does she need to have it done? Is it impacting on her feeding at all?
DS's was done in hospital at around 3 days old - we were having feeding issues. Because he was so young he didn't comprehend what was happening to him, cried for a couple of minutes and then was fine after that. An adult friend of mine only recently had his done last year.
My 9 yr old has a tongue tie & it has come up now & then re cutting it but its never been an issue so it hasn't been done. He has a slight lisp with "SSSS" sounds but that it. We had t looked at by a dental specialist who said he wouldn't bother seems its nt effecting him.
So if your DD is 8 months & its not bothering her, leave it.
