I don't remember DS2 ever having his tongue checked - or if he did, not thoroughly. Struggled in the beginning with mastitis and he lost weight etc, but we soon managed to get back on track.
Around 5/6 months old I noticed that his tongue didn't move around too much. Made a mental note to ask HV, she said that usually it breaks naturally. She didn't check it as he wouldn't let her...
He's one next week and he can't poke his tongue out, if he does it is only a tiny bit and looks like it's being pulled back, if that makes any sense. He is too young for me to worry about his speech, but I don't really know whether I should be chasing this up and have it snipped - even though it's not causing him issues, or wait to see if it's going to affect speech?
I can't really see how it wouldn't affect speech. I think it's quite bad?
