Consultant said there's no such thing as a posterior TT

Hi

Paediatric Consultant said there's no such thing as a posterior tongue tie!

I feel like crying

Consultant is obviously a useless tosser. Can you go private?

Very misinformed consultant. I went to a dozen people before someone recognised my DDs posterior tie!

I never got anyone to take ds's seriously :(

Ignore consultant see GP and get referred to specialist.

There wasn't any such thing as any sort of tongue tie when mine were babies.........

Curlew dp is 27 and has tongue tie. He can hardly poke his tongue out....might ask his mum how long she bf him for

OP I posted on your other thread. I'm pretty sure a private tongue tie snip isn't very expensive can you look into it? I'm sure people on here can help you. I'm sorry the consultant was so shit

Curlew! You are kidding right! I am approaching mid 30s and I had a severe one corrected as a baby! I don't think it was Made up! Apparently midwives used to routinely check and snip at birth. It's genetic too thus both my chdren had there severe ties snipped too! Completely missed and denied (even though bloody obvious) by the hospital and my lovely clueless but nice GP took my word for it and referred us! System is rubbish! Maybe time for a new MN campaign?

There's a campaign I've bumped - please go add your voices!

I don't know how old yours are curlew, but my 43yo dh has a tongue tie.

There will be thousands of people out there with undiagnosed ties causing them all sorts of problems, and they are not even likely to realise that they are tongue tied.

This gives general info for all ages

I have issues relating to my untreated tie. God knows how my mother breast fed me, as its quite severe. My main issue just now is clicky/constantly dislocating jaw. V annoying.

I was speaking to a GP who'd never heard of lip tie, yet I've read about it lots on here.

Am shocked at a Consultant never having heard of PTT.

Didn't know about the campaign I have bumped too!

Our GP (specialist in peads) checked for tongue tie (including prosterior) at ds's six week check
