It's just so hard to make a decision cuz it's supposedly so marginal and I don't know if it will help with BF for sure or not </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/posterior-tongue-tie-1#post-1979424 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 20:35:27 +0000 coopsmama 1979424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: Ties can affect so many things outside of breastfeeding - speech, teeth alignment, jaw issues, headaches, gap in front teeth, etc. I'm sure it was worth it for your LO even though you no longer BF. :) We had DD done but didn't have DS done and at 18 months I really regret that we didn't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/posterior-tongue-tie-1#post-1979412 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 20:25:46 +0000 Mae 1979412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had her PTT and ULT laser clipped when she was 5 weeks old. I did feel it helped breastfeeding, but I think we were sort of too far gone to fully recover at that point. I sort of regret doing it because ultimately breastfeeding did not work out for us and I feel like we put her through getting it done for nothing. But I know we're in the minority on that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/posterior-tongue-tie-1#post-1979406 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 20:18:08 +0000 78h2o 1979406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd do it and also have her checked for a lip tie. I never got LOs lip tie clipped and I greatly regretted it. BFing was always painful and my supply was never great...I think that had a lot to do with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/posterior-tongue-tie-1#post-1979403 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 20:14:16 +0000 hilsy85 1979403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would do it! And have her checked for a tongue tie. I would make sure you are seeing an ENT who has a lot of experience with this, as it makes a difference--we saw one who did a crappy job on LO's TT, and it made things take much longer to get better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/posterior-tongue-tie-1#post-1979345 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 19:12:43 +0000 Maysprout 1979345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My lo has this and I noticed it was more difficult nursing her than my first lo. But no one was eager to correct it so we didn't. We adjusted after a bit and she's still nursing at 13 months. Her ptt isn't terrible though, for her ult I sometimes had to pop her upper lip out for her to nurse but that was just when she was tiny </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/posterior-tongue-tie-1#post-1979332 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 18:44:41 +0000 erinpye 1979332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, DD1 had one and it was corrected with laser, along with her upper lip tie. It made a world of difference. Pretty much every time there is a PTT, an ULT is also present, and also needs to be revised for you to notice a change. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/posterior-tongue-tie-1#post-1979329 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 18:42:34 +0000 prettylizy 1979329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had both lip and tongue done on DD2 and it was worth it. She had hers done with a laser though so I don't know how much was clipped.<br /> We still struggled with nursing for a while and I pumped a lot but we are exclusively back on the breast now at 9 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/posterior-tongue-tie-1#post-1979325 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 18:40:16 +0000 coopsmama 1979325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had it done for our DD, along with an upper lip tie. Did your LO have an upper lip tie as well? </p> <p>After we had those corrected, DD's nursing was a lot better. It was totally worth it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/posterior-tongue-tie-1#post-1979265 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 17:17:01 +0000 snowjewelz 1979265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did your LO have one and did you have it corrected? </p> <p>We already had a bit of it clipped and the ENT said that he can do it a little more but it'd be like millimeters.</p> <p>I am having issues w/ BF, I'm trying to decide if it's worth it to get that millimeter clipped too or not! </p>
