Hi there, wasn't sure which thread to put this in... But here goes.
DS has just been diagnosed with tongue tie at 14week old. I'm a bit cross that it has taken so long and in fact I spotted it. DS is ff as I failed miserably at bf....I guess the tt explains some of the problems we had now!
Anyway, it has been suggested we have it clipped but I was horrified to find out it is done without any pain medication or local anaesthetic in under 1's. Apparently most babies do not find the procedure too distressing. I just wanted to hear other people's experiences. I wonder if it will be worse for DS as he is a little bit older? DS is bottle feeding well now, although very slow sometimes. He is also very sickly. He is a happy thriving little man, I don't want to put him through a potentially horrible procedure unless it is worthwhile.
I just want honest opinions on how your LO reacted to the procedure. TIA x
