My DD is 10 days old and has tongue tie. I am EBF but it is causing problems with the latch and even though now gaining weight, still hasn't reached her birth weight. It is painful for me to feed but I am persevering with the hope of getting it treated. However, after seeing our GP today who said he would refer her, had just called me to say they no longer snip tongue tie as it can cause a scar which causes more problems than the original tongue tie. Has anyone heard of this? He said as long as she is feeding they would leave it alone until she is a few years old. But she would then need a general anaesthetic which I am not happy with really. And what about the pain it is causing me? Anyone else been in this situation?
