My ds had a tongue tie which was only diagnosed at nearly 5wo when I saw a bf peer supporter as ds was completely unable to latch on and I was having to gibe bottles of expressed milk. By the time the tongue tie was cut ds completely refused the breast. I really wanted to bf so I was upset that I couldn't and it took me a long time to accept that.
Ds was in special care for his first 9 days and there was no bf support although I mentioned that we were struggling. At no point did they check for a tongue tie despite several nurses caring for him over the time he was in. I still feel resentful as if it had been picked up on in hospital he probably would not have been discharged without bf being established (although I was supposedly bf him) and I may have been able to bf.
Wibu to write to the hospital? Not to complain as care was otherwise very good but to say that I think bf support could have been better and that ds should have been checked for tongue tie as we were struggling to bf. Possibly I abu and need to get over it but I feel a bit let down.
