I was told it's really important, and so we took LO to 2 craniosacral therapy sessions after her laser release. That's all she needed, to release some tension built up from tensing and overcompensating with a restricted mouth. </p> <p>Remember LO has never felt her mouth work like this, not even in the womb, so it will take a few days to get the hang of it. Try and be patient. I found taking a nice warm bath and nursing/ feeding in the bath was very soothing for my LO as she recovered. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tongue-tie-questions-again#post-2097402 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 22:01:32 +0000 MrsRcCar 2097402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pinata: the best way we found to burp him was laying tummy down on our thighs and lightly drumming on his back. He wasn't prone to spitting up tho. E is a little more prone to spitting up. The best way to burp him is our feet up on the couch with our knees bent, resting E tummy on our thighs and burp. That way he was still upright but the pressure was great enough to get the burp out. I second what PP says about the chiropractor they are a huge help for all kinds of issues! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tongue-tie-questions-again#post-2097397 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 21:54:00 +0000 AprilFool 2097397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pinata: Yay for hope! I hope they help :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tongue-tie-questions-again#post-2097362 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 21:20:10 +0000 Mrs. Pinata 2097362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AprilFool: Thank you thank you! That give me hope! :) We go to the chiropractor on Monday and then on Thursday to get the cranial-sacral massage. Hoping and praying they help her! And maybe I also need more affective burping techniques. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tongue-tie-questions-again#post-2097344 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 21:13:04 +0000 AprilFool 2097344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pinata: Yes I definitely think a cranial-sacral massage would be very similar. I would give that a go and see if it helps. </p> <p>The Chiro might also be more help now that the tie has been released. We saw the Osteo twice before the release but it kept pulling things back out of alignment. We saw him once after the release to re do things and never had to take her back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tongue-tie-questions-again#post-2097331 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 21:00:15 +0000 Mrs. Pinata 2097331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsRcCar: I'm glad it's not just me! I will try to stop her more often, but this evening she had this after just 1 and 1.5 oz. :/ The interesting thing is that she guzzles 4 oz at night with no issues and burps so easily. I guess because she's so much more relaxed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tongue-tie-questions-again#post-2097329 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 20:59:08 +0000 MrsRcCar 2097329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pinata: what we did find with N was finally able to eat properly was he would suck it down super fast. Causing huge air bubbles and screams. We had to physically stop and burp him often to slow the screams. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tongue-tie-questions-again#post-2097328 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 20:59:04 +0000 Mrs. Pinata 2097328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AprilFool: That sounds amazing! We have taken her to a chiropractor and I feel like that's helped, but she didn't have burping techniques. I will need to look to see if we have osteopaths here. Would that be similar to someone doing cranial-sacral massage I wonder? That's often recommended as well for fussy/reflux babies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tongue-tie-questions-again#post-2097317 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 20:51:16 +0000 AprilFool 2097317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pinata: Maybe they are only popular in Australia? Haha. An Osteopath uses manipulation to move things back into place but it's very gentle, like a massage. The closest would probably be a Chiropractor if you can't see an Osteopath. </p> <p>DD was 2 weeks old when we first saw him and he adjusted her palette (one side was higher) and realigned her facial structure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tongue-tie-questions-again#post-2097276 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 20:34:34 +0000 Mrs. Pinata 2097276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, and she's 2.5 months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tongue-tie-questions-again#post-2097275 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 20:34:26 +0000 Mrs. Pinata 2097275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AprilFool: I've never heard of an Osteopath! What do they do and how do they help? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tongue-tie-questions-again#post-2097261 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 20:24:28 +0000 AprilFool 2097261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pinata: We saw a difference immediately but LO was already 6 weeks old. How old is your LO? They say it can take 2 weeks to relearn how to feed. </p> <p>The Dr recommended seeing an Osteopath and probiotics, both of which I was already doing. I think both of these greatly helped and might help your LO with her burping. We had seen Osteo twice before getting it cut and that's when our feeding was usually best. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tongue-tie-questions-again#post-2096178 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 09:26:17 +0000 Mrs. Pinata 2096178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, Sweet P got her tongue AND lip tie released Tuesday afternoon. We got it done by laser, which I'm glad for.</p> <p>Anyway, Tuesday night was horrid (4 straight hours of screaming after numbing meds wore off), but since then I feel like she's been doing OK with the pain. We've been doing Tylenol religiously every 6 hours and some diluted clove oil recommended by the Dr. for pain and disinfecting. </p> <p>Anyway, how long before you saw a difference. It hasn't been 48 hours yet, but she's definitely still having difficulty feeding (which we expected and know is normal), but is also very screamy when she needs to burp (which is new). </p> <p>I know we're still in the 'recovery' phase, so it's not like I expect feedings to be great or her fussiness to go away yet, but I'm wondering how long it took your baby to get better. I'm really, really hoping and praying this helps her, but right now I'm TIRED and wondering when it might get better?? </p>
