Recovering from posterior tongue tie

7 replies

Has anyone got experience of getting over a posterior tongue tie? We've got sucking exercises to do but they aren't working- LO snipped yesterday but won't suck on finger and still has bad latch, but it seems to be the only way I can get her to feed. Any tips or encouragement?

Don't know but just bumping for you.

Ours took a couple of weeks post cut to be comfortable, cranial osteopathy also helped with tongue function.

Ours took a few weeks to improve too. It will get better!

Thanks, everyone. Encouraged to hear that cranial osteopathy helped in some cases as we're having that, too. DD has her suck back so fingers crossed she figures out how to use her tongue properly as well cos her latch is perfect in terms of mouth shape etc, she just isn't pulling in enough nipple for it to be pain free. Not anywhere near as painful as it was though, so it's all progress, I guess!
