Did you get it clipped? If so, where?
-
LO has both. I was told by multiple LCs & 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 & she diagnosed both. LO has a pretty good latch though I wonder if my supply issues & her colic were worsened by the ties. She was 10 weeks when she was diagnosed & because there are no doctors that use lasers for revisions near us, I never seriously considered it. It's a painful procedure & it felt unnecessary to me.
-
yep, at our pediatrician's office within the first 2 weeks.
-
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.
-
Yes, the NICU nurses did it the day after he was born.
-
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"
-
Yes. We had a pediatric ENT correct both his lip and tongue tie.
-
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!
-
Yes, we were having issues nursing so we had it corrected at 5 weeks. 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.
-
I didn't realize he had one until he was almost 1. But then I noticed that I have them (lip & posterior tongue) too!
-
His tongue tie was corrected at 2 weeks old in an ENT's office. I wish I had gotten his lip tie corrected at the same time, but unfortunately I didn't...
-
DS had a tongue-tie and the ped corrected it the morning we went home from the hospital.
-
Yes we went to an ENT for his tongue tie.and got it clipped right in her office.
-
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. Wagon Sr has them too!
-
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.
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.
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.
-
Our daughter has a tongue tie (just like me and my mom). It didn't interfere with breastfeeding so they didn't clip it.
-
We went to an ENT when DS was 5 days old. She clipped the upper and lower.
-
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?
-
@sunny I think it's possible that a tie can make their feeding less efficient and affect volume consumed
-
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.
-
@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.
-
D1 had a severe tongue tie and her ped clipped.
D2 had tongue tie and ped clipped. 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. -
My oldest is tongue tied and we have not had it sniped because it didn't and hasn't caused her any issues.
I was tongue tied as well but I did have mine sniped when I was 12 yrs old.
