Tongue Tie

[Ellradford]

My 2 month has just had her posterior tongue tie cut , I am hoping this will help with her colicky / reflux symptoms as after every feed she is screaming in pain, she has silent reflux & wind etc. which I have read tongue tie can massively help with this.
Can anyone advise when they started to see a difference with symptoms & how long it took for the little one to feed properly on the bottle afterwards?

its 6pm and my little one has hers cut at 11am same day , but she seems to exact same if not worse’s only sure if it is irritating her. I am praying this helps my little one and this is feeling like torcher now ☹️

DS3 had a tongue tie cut at about ten weeks. He found the sensation of being able to move his tongue really odd and it took him a few days to get control of it. It did improve his latch which was abysmal. Hope your LO starts to feed better soon.

Two dc with tongue ties cut, the first about 10 weeks and second about 3 weeks. The second the difference was far more immediate and obvious, the first we got there eventually but bf wasn’t easy for months. Hard to say how much of that was the timing or whether with dc2 I was more experienced. I definitely learned that you need to break an uncomfortable latch and start again, every time, even if you feel guilty stopping wee one feeding! Good luck.

Seconding what PP has said. My daughter had her division at 7 weeks, and it took about a week really before she kind of got used to the change and could latch onto my boob for pain-free feeding for me. She was already mixed-fed, and I guess around a week later too I also sensed that her bottle feeding got easier for her. It can take some time, but for us it was game-changing. Hope you see improvements soon!

Hi OP can I ask if things improved? We are in a similar situation and debating if to go ahead

Yes!!!
it was the best thing we ever did , wish we knew sooner. It took around 1, maybe 2 weeks to see the difference but when we did it was honestly like a switch overnight and we had a different baby. We also went to a chiropractor after the tongue tie which was recommend and that also helped her massively. My advise would be go get it done , the stretches afterwards are not pleasant I won’t lie and your little one will cry , more because of your fingers being on their mouth rather than pain, but it was the best thing we ever did!
I feel for you , you got this!
