LO had his tongue tie cut today. For the first time ever:
- He can feed for a decent time without falling asleep in five/ten mins.
- I can't feel him sucking but he obviously is, and is swallowing.
- He doesn't have tummy ache and wind after feeding from me - instead of crying for 1-2 hrs, he's calm, content and happy :).
- He's still awake after feeding for top-up as he will need that for a while to keep weight up until my supply increases.
- He can suck properly (on a finger, or a bottle, or...)
- I feel like we might be able to give bf a go for a bit longer. I was ready to give up!
Having it cut didn't upset him at all, he didn't like the gauze but that was about it. He was then ever so happy to discover that he could move his tongue, and fed well for 20min or so. He's been playing with his 'new' tongue all afternoon - v sweet!
So just a thank you to the people who mentioned it on my threads, so that when I saw it I knew what it was, and that it needed fixing. :)
