There was regrowth so ped clipped again. Then discovered that she was severely lip-tied. He sent us to someone more experienced in lip-ties (he said D2's was the worst he's ever seen!) and another ped did it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-hashad-a-liptongue-tie#post-1432946 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 07:35:54 +0000 hilsy85 1432946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: it can definitelt affect weight--both by making the baby less efficient in transferring milk, and therefore affecting the mom's milk supply because baby isn't effectively removing as much milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-hashad-a-liptongue-tie#post-1432894 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 04:53:54 +0000 yin 1432894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty sure DS2 has a tongue tie, which worried me at first when he was a newborn. Being the first time that I am able to successfully breastfeed, I feared that he wasn't getting enough milk. At 15 weeks he is gaining weight like a champ, and he eats well and often throughout the day. Since it's not affected his health or our breastfeeding relationship, I haven't brought it up to the doctor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-hashad-a-liptongue-tie#post-1432874 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 02:56:27 +0000 Mrs. Chipmunk 1432874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny I think it's possible that a tie can make their feeding less efficient and affect volume consumed </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-hashad-a-liptongue-tie#post-1432844 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 01:32:51 +0000 sunny 1432844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I suspect she has one but I'm not actually sure. I sometimes wonder if that is cause for her low weight. Is that possible? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-hashad-a-liptongue-tie#post-1432843 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 01:30:39 +0000 lamariniere 1432843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went to an ENT when DS was 5 days old. She clipped the upper and lower. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-hashad-a-liptongue-tie#post-1432655 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 21:51:25 +0000 Mrs. M 1432655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our daughter has a tongue tie (just like me and my mom). It didn't interfere with breastfeeding so they didn't clip it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-hashad-a-liptongue-tie#post-1432606 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 21:26:42 +0000 Anagram 1432606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO had a tongue and lip tie but we didn't get it clipped till she was almost 2.5 months old and honestly, I think it was too late for us at that point. Her bad BFing habits were formed, as it were and we could never get it together after that.</p> <p>BUT strangely, I have a tongue and lip tie too, MUCH more severe than LOs (according to the ENT who clipped hers) and I never had a problem BFing as a baby. So. huh. One of those breastfeeding mysteries.</p> <p>We actually saw the ENT who is in the documentary Breast Milk, and she said some babies are affected by tongue and lip ties and some aren't at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-hashad-a-liptongue-tie#post-1432600 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 21:21:47 +0000 mrs. wagon 1432600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both my kids have tongue and lip ties! Didn't interfere with any breast or bottle feeding so we never clipped. Hasn't interfered with speech yet either.

There's a doctor in our city who specializes in breastfeeding issues, including lip and tongue ties. I wish we could have gotten it lasered, but the LC I saw strongly recommended getting it done ASAP to help protect my supply and nobody nearby uses lasers, so we went ahead with the traditional way. DD cried a bit at first but never seemed bothered after that, she just gave us looks like she thought we were crazy when we did the stretching exercises. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-hashad-a-liptongue-tie#post-1432168 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 17:27:36 +0000 Boheme 1432168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My ped correct DS's tongue tie at 3 days old, and a pediatric ENT corrected his lip tie at 8-9 weeks. I had a lip tie surgically corrected in 9th grade, so I was looking for it as soon as DS was born! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-hashad-a-liptongue-tie#post-1432162 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 17:25:33 +0000 Ra 1432162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes.

My pediatrician didn't seem interested or like she would do it so I went to a lactation consultant GP that did. When I told my ped after she said "that where I got my kids' clipped" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-hashad-a-liptongue-tie#post-1431886 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 15:30:13 +0000 .twist. 1431886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, the NICU nurses did it the day after he was born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-hashad-a-liptongue-tie#post-1431818 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 15:16:33 +0000 swedishfish 1431818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think R has a lip tie but I haven't asked. She BF just fine for 6 months. I had a lip tie and had to get it cut before getting braces. I also had a gap between my top middle teeth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-hashad-a-liptongue-tie#post-1431805 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 15:13:10 +0000 birdofafeather 1431805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep, at our pediatrician's office within the first 2 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-hashad-a-liptongue-tie#post-1431706 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 14:45:03 +0000 daniellemybelle 1431706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has both. I was told by multiple LCs &amp; my pediatrician that she didn't, and then at 7 weeks an LC said she thought she had a lip tie, so I saw another well respected LC &amp; she diagnosed both. LO has a pretty good latch though I wonder if my supply issues &amp; her colic were worsened by the ties. She was 10 weeks when she was diagnosed &amp; because there are no doctors that use lasers for revisions near us, I never seriously considered it. It's a painful procedure &amp; it felt unnecessary to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-hashad-a-liptongue-tie#post-1431670 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 14:36:31 +0000 chopsuey 1431670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you get it clipped? If so, where? </p>
