getting posterior tongue tie cut at home?

[seriouslynonames]

DD2 is a week old. My nips are extremely sore, with a little bit of cracking and bleeding. BF counsellor / LC came yesterday and said she has posterior tongue tie and that my latch / technique look fine so she thinks the soreness is down to the tongue tie. Hospital checked for tongue tie and said none - but there examination was definitely more cursory than the BF counsellor.

Options are go back to bf clinic at hospital; ask BF counsellor for a referral to Southampton (some specialist doc there I think) or chose someone (qualified) from association of tongue tie practitioners to come and do it privately at home for us (for a fee).

Anyone had tongue tie cut at home...?

thanks for experiences / advice

Yes. Three times! No issues on any occasion. Single use surgical scissors used, baby swaddled and held by me (I didn't look though!). Made all the difference to feeding. Bf twins for a year and currently feeding ds2 (only 8 weeks but totally painful free) I got LC to come when ds2 was 3 days old as I knew there was an issue and didn't plan to wait for proper damage to be done to my nips.

I used Ann Dobson if you are in the SE. Thoroughly recommend

Yes and I used ann dobson. Obviously it was a bit upsetting but DD cried for about a minute or two and I noticed immediately the difference when she latched on.

Southampton would be my choice, they area very good at what they do there. Division is very low risk but it's still a surgical procedure.

I had the same dd2 feeding ok. Had the procedure done and she wont go back on the breast a week later apart from 4 or so times.
