We got his tongue tie clipped by the ENT when he was 5.5 weeks old and it made a HUGE difference! He’s like a new baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tongue-tie-causing-gassy-baby#post-2806516 Tue, 27 Feb 2018 10:42:22 +0000 starchild 2806516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="https://www.tt-lt-support-network.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.tt-lt-support-network.com/</a></p> <p>This site was highly recommended to me when researching providers.

We found and excellent qualified dentist in Illinois if anyone in that area needs a rec </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tongue-tie-causing-gassy-baby#post-2806485 Tue, 27 Feb 2018 09:07:16 +0000 starchild 2806485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Be prepared to find a dentist. Peds do not specialize in ties and usually defer to a dentist anyway. I know how much it has helped a lot of people, and it's something we are looking into as well for gas/reflux. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tongue-tie-causing-gassy-baby#post-2806451 Mon, 26 Feb 2018 22:58:57 +0000 bees_knees 2806451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gotkimchi: @gingerbebe: thanks!! Makes me feel like I’m not totally crazy. I’m fully expecting to be blown off by our ped since he’s gaining weight, etc, but I’m going into the appt informed!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tongue-tie-causing-gassy-baby#post-2806272 Mon, 26 Feb 2018 12:58:33 +0000 gingerbebe 2806272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. My friend's daughter had a tongue-tie that she didn't get fixed, but endured hour long nursing sessions every single feeding because she ate SLOWLY and was obviously also gulping lots of air. Lots of spitting up, lots of gas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tongue-tie-causing-gassy-baby#post-2806263 Mon, 26 Feb 2018 12:26:22 +0000 gotkimchi 2806263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Clipping it fixed a ton of issues for us - weight gain and nursing were never the problem </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tongue-tie-causing-gassy-baby#post-2806240 Mon, 26 Feb 2018 11:05:18 +0000 bees_knees 2806240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’m fairly certain DS3 has a tongue tie (it’s super visible). It isn’t causing any breastfeeding discomfort for me, and he seems to be gaining weight well (we have his 1 mo well check Wednesday). BUT, he is super gassy, nurses very frequently, and you know. Doesn’t hardly sleep 😭 I’m obviously going to ask the ped too, but do these sound like tongue tie symptoms to you? (Google gives mixed results, as per usual) </p>
