Hi all, my ds has a tongue tie (or Ankyloglossia is it's technical term). I spoke to a couple of mums (via MN ) with children, partners or relatives with this condition, but would like to raise it again as there are so many new posters these days.
I think we've finally made the decision to get this corrected when DS is about 2.5/3yrs (currently 8mo) regardless of the standard blurb about only doing it if it effects eating/speech. There is a whole list of other, to us more important, reasons to undergo the op, but I am keen to hear from others who have been through this and if there are any surgeons in the UK that perform the corrective procedure(s). After searching endlessly on the web I'm only able to find decent info in Aus and the USA.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated. It's so difficult coming to these decisions about your little one and more info would be a great help.
