Tongue tie revision

[Lonutay]

My DS2 is 3 weeks old. He clicks when he feeds, my nipples are so sore despite getting him to take a nice deep latch, he has awful wind and reflux. He's constantly in pain and doesn't sleep because of the latter. It's all the symptoms of a tongue tie but I honestly can't spot it in his mouth.

DS1 had a posterior tongue tie diagnosed very late at 9 months, so we left it as it was. He suffered terribly from reflux and I always wondered if TT was the cause. He ended up on a dairy free formula and lansoprazole because it got so bad and I look back wondering whether it was all unnecessary and the reflux was TT.

We've got an appointment tomorrow at the tongue tie clinic and I'm almost praying they find one so that there's a chance DS's painful wind and reflux eases. I honestly can't relive the experience we had with DS1, it was horrific. We spent 7 months holding him upright at night and for all naps while he slept.

Has anyone had an experience of TT revision genuinely easing gas and reflux?

We had a similar experience with DD1, the “reflux” (I think actually wind from TT) and the sleeping upright. Except we were luckier and had her TT diagnosed and sorted at 14 weeks. In short it made a huge difference to feeding and wind. She fed less often and yet jumped centiles so clearly was feeding better. Latch was much better and much less air went in.

Sleep wise it wasn’t an instant fix, there had been some bad sleep habits built up and these needed sleep training to sort. However the sleep training worked very quickly which I believe was only possible because the TT was sorted.

DC2 we had her TT snipped at 6 days and had none of these issues! She still wasn’t an ideal sleeper but it was due to catching colds from DC1 rather than feeding issues.
