Interested to hear experiences after tongue tie cuts.
My LO is 4w & had her posterior TT done Sat, feeding hasn't improved at all.
She doesn't suck properly as she won't bring her tongue over her bottom gum when she latches on so her gums basically grind/crunch on my very sore nipple. This is much worse on one side than the other (not sure why). The more we feed the Sorer I get.
I used nipple shields before the cut but want to stay off them now as I don't think they will help LO to learn how to suck!
Not used a dummy as not sure if that would help or hinder?
Will this ever get better? I'm so down about BF, it completely consumes us & the pain one side is getting worse.
ive had the positioning checked by various BF workers - it all comes down to not getting a deep enough latch due to the tongue not coming down/over the bottom gum. Instead she curls it up pointing towards roof of mouth. I've tried gently pushing it down & encouraging it but no luck.
Please help ;-(
