Our DS2 has recently been diagnosed with a posterior tongue tie due to being noisy when breastfeeding and slowed weight gain. He’s 12 weeks old and dropped 2 percentiles.
I’m currently on a feeding plan (because of his weight) where we continue to bf as much as possible, switch feeding, breast compressions etc.. I also have to express and attempt to feed whatever I manage to express via bottle (which he hates and refuses to do anyway!) in between regular feeds.. I feel physically and mentally drained. I desperately want to continue breastfeeding but it’s killing me 😣
He needs to have the tie cut, but omg my anxiety has gone haywire over this and I feel stuck in a rut. He is the most chilled, happy baby. Looking at him you’d never know there was ‘concerns’, so to speak.
I’m basically looking for some reassurance and past experiences from those who have been through this. I know it’s a common problem and lots of babies go through it, but the more I think about it the more it upsets me. Please tell me the procedure isn’t as traumatic as I’m making it out in my head 🙁
