IK Alex had a tongue tie when he was born and it was cut on his 3rd day by the paed, took all of 30 secs and there was barely any bleeding and no infection or anything. We were told that it may/may not interfere with his feeding later in life and better to cut it now rather then later. Haven't looked back since.
Kel congrats on another baby in the family, in relation to the toe thing DH and I were just discussing how his cousins little girl (now aged 2) was born with 6 toes on one foot and how unusual that was. It was amputated soon after birth. So extra toes etc might be more common then we think.
Thanks, Gabysmum! Yeah, the LC said that if we left it and it affected his speech later on that it would have to be done under local cos the frenulum (sp?) is thicker then (about age 2-3), sooner rather than later if we are going to do it. I have a feeling that his mild tongue-tie is enough to be the cause of our discomforts, not just the feeding position, so we think we might just go ahead with it (trip into town, though!).
Vigilante is at it again...I just reported a litter bug to the EPA (thrown from car onto road)...
