Hi, my DD has just been diagnosed with a posterior tongue tie and upper lip tie (her upper lip is always curled in rather than out due to this). DD is 14 weeks, though was 6 weeks prem and tube fed for the first 3 weeks, so only been BFing for 11 weeks, if that makes sense.
I'm worried it's now so late for the TT correction that it won't make much difference or could even make feeding more difficult for DD because she would have to relearn how to feed with her 'new' tongue (though it's clearly pretty hard for her at the moment poor thing, she takes in loads of air and tires quickly, plus it's sore for me too).
I'm also looking into getting the TT snipped, but am finding it harder to find someone who will address the lip tie, it seems these are usually left untreated in th UK for some reason.
Has anyone had a posterior TT snipped this late? How did it go, did it improve BFing for you - and if so, how quickly?
If your DC also had a lip tie - did you get it cut (if so where) and if not, did you find BFing was still difficult after the TT was cut?
Thank you!
