My baby had the clip done through referral at 3 weeks for her tongue tie. She’s now 4 months and I think it has reattached - I am going to go get it checked by a midwife but the appointment isn’t till next Friday.
We have had feeding problems for the past month and a bit. I did a post here about it. Long story short, I have had severe shooting pains in my breast after feeding. She clicks constantly whilst on and I have to support her in getting a deep latch after seeing an LC. On the 2nd visit to the same LC, 2 weeks later, I was told that as I am still experiencing pains it could either be that her tongue tie has reattached, thrush or just that she is a baby who struggles to latch.
I’m currently on fluconizole and baby is having the gel. I use daktarin after feeds and will do this for 2 weeks. To see if things improve.
However, I’ve been observing my LO’s tongue more closely and I have a sinking feeling it has re-attached. We did all the exercises to prevent this and somehow it’s happened. I fed her really often too as advised to stretch the tongue. I watched a video of her (taken after her clip) earlier today and her tongue is much more free than it is now. I’ve noticed that she can’t use her tongue to touch the top of her mouth as when she cries, it curls slightly on both sides and the middle seems to not lift. This is what it was like before the clip.
I’ll wait for confirmation but for the sake of this post, let’s say it’s confirmed. I hated that she had to have it done the first time and I am not sure how I feel about her having a second. She is gaining weight well but I have really been going through a lot of pain bf her and I don’t really want to stop if it’s something we can fix. I was told by someone they don’t clip after 9 weeks old? Not sure if that’s true? Also, I’m obviously worried it’ll just reattach again.
Has anyone gone through 2 clips?
Advice would be greatly appreciated!
