Is anyone else frustrated with NHS approach to tongue tie treatment?
I'm in Derbyshire and have second child with tongue tie - both resulting in painful breastfeeding despite advice/help/practise on positions and enabling a deep latch.
For the first (pre COVID) it took two months to be referred and then a few weeks for the procedure.
This time it was identified in hospital and referred but 3 weeks later I haven't heard anything and every midwife I have spoken to have indicated that the waiting list is ridiculously long. This leaves the option of dropping breastfeeding or going private.
I'm curious how good/bad it is in different areas of the country. Apparently it is not a 'commisioned' service in Derby, meaning the hospital is not obligated to provide a service within any timescale (hence the push to go private and long waiting lists)
