DS1 had a t-t that prevented him from attaching. We got it snipped at 3 weeks and it really was such a quick and simple procedure. We never looked back after that - he was able to attach well etc.
At time when when we were researching it, we read about the potential for speech problems down the track, and also dental decay due to not being able to clear food from the mouth effectively. So if it was me I would probably have it done early, while it is still a simple procedure.
I would get it done now. My second DD has a very mild tounge tie that was only noticed at her 6wks check when I told the Dr she had one. He didn't think it was bad enough to snip it at the time as she was feeding fine and could stick out her tounge. BUT fast forward over 4 years later and she is seeing a speech therapist and some of her issues with forming sounds are directly related to her tounge tie. Especially any sounds that require her to put her tounge to the roof of her mouth, like the 'L' sound. If I had of known then what I know now I would have asked the Dr to snip it.
