Anyone a fan of The Big Bang Theory? "I informed you thusly!" Wink

She described it as a very small one & didn't seem confident that it would help much but I could see straight away when he was screaming that he was holding his tongue in a different position! He really didn't want to feed straight after but eventually latched on & sucked gently to calm himself down. Fell straight to sleep in the wrap when we started walking & is now wriggling on the floor cooing to himself! Grin She said it could take a little while for him to adjust his feeding but fx we're on the way to feeding comfortably!

Everyone come join my party! Cake & Wine for all!

Happy birthday bring! Extra Cake & Wine for you!

FrussoHathor · 22/08/2013 15:32

Yay! see moms do know best when it comes to their child Fx it helps for you agnu. Now the hard work begins with re-teaching him to latch on properly.
You can see it straight away cant you! Do you think his mouth/smile is a different shape too? We've only had wide mouth grins since frus jnr was snipped.

Are you doing the "I knew it" song too. Grin

He's feeding from the bad side. It's not agony! Not entirely comfortable either but I'm not having to fight the urge to fling him across the room! That's definitely a marked improvement already! Grin

Not sure if his mouth shape is different but his tongue looks fat when he pokes it out now & it's less bowl-shaped when he cries. I think it'll eventually flatten even more - it kinda looks confused when he's crying, like it's used to being bowl-shaped but isn't being forced to be anymore!

I got lost on the way to the appt! Blush I arranged for a friend who lives nearby to have DS1 & left the car on her drive. It should've only been a 10 minute walk but there's some construction going on & I thought I wasn't going to be able to get through. I ended up being 10 minutes late, sweaty, out of breath & terrified she wouldn't see us. She was held up with urgent calls for another 10 minutes! Gave me enough time to have some water & cool/calm down a bit!

Just let him suck on my finger when he'd finished his non-agonising, 17 minute feed & his tongue feels really flat. I guess he'd been bringing the front of his tongue up more to try & compensate for not being able to move the back!

As if all that weren't exciting enough, my oven's just been fixed so I can bake cookies to celebrate in an oven that won't over-do them hopefully!

I am so happy for you agnu

That's brilliant news Agnu, really pleased for you and it was worth that second opinion especially as its not cost hundreds

Bring happy birthday yummy mummy

I have returned to worst mother award, I forgot kittens jabs AGAIN! I mean seriously what is wrong with me!
I had even turned down going out with my mum 2 hrs earlier because I said I had her app then lost track of time and it was bloody 4 ( app at 3:30) so angry with myselfAngry

Lib- my secret isn't much of a secret, I'm clearly just f&@king useless lol

AGnu · 22/08/2013 22:59

Lol! Oh dear kitty! I'm forever forgetting things at the moment. I've started setting reminders on my phone when I remember to but I have to set several to poke me in the run up to anything or I'll forget that the reminder went off! Hmm

Turns out the snip hasn't been a miracle cure. If anything, it's actually more painful on the right, but easier on the left. Fx it's just him getting used to his new tongue! He's been really happy most of the time since we left the hosp but screams like we're torturing him when he's hungry or just finished feeding! Sad I keep telling myself we'll get there but it's really not helped by DH popping in & out of the room every 10s with random questions about whether I want to keep junk mail or asking me how it's feeling. Somehow he always manages to be elsewhere when DS2 is screaming though! Angry

bringonthetrumpets · 22/08/2013 23:50

Yay agnu!! See, you knew something wasn't quite right. I've seen cranio work being done after a tongue-tie snip as being incredibly beneficial as it gives the muscles that were previously held in a certain position more room to move around correctly and helps baby to re-learn how to latch correctly. Hopefully it'll start being less painful for you asap!

Maybe subconsciously you're against the jabs kitty?

Cheers darlings! Cake and Wine for everyone! The fair was fun. Soooo rammed full of people and crazy hot...but lots of good food. We sat down in the shade for a beer and to listen to some music and DSs were tackling each other on the grass. DS1 came barreling into me head-to-head and I think the little sh** gave me a bloody concussion! I know I wasn't that tipsy but straight after it happened I was super dizzy and I've had a sore knob on my head + a headache since. There's my birthday pressie from DS1 Hmm

FrussoHathor · 22/08/2013 23:51

Have you given him calpol agnu he should settle down with his soreness and that heartbreaking cry by the end of tomorrow.
You'll get there, he just feels funny and different like having your tongue pierced, or braces but he doesn't get why his comfort doesn't feel the same, But with perseverance at big mouth latch as i've named it you'll both figure it out.
My lady said the snipping was the easy bit, the hard bit is teaching him to nurse again with newfound tongue movement.

kitty how could you? She'll get a letter about non-attendance.
I also have at least 4 alarms per event on my phone. I am that bad.

I know Hmm i did ring at 4 and say we were running really late could we still come now but they said better to re arrange, definatly not against the jabs bring, I've had dd1 done with no worries, think its just I get distracted by one wanting me or crying etc and that's it, I had remember it was that day etc just missed the time

FrussoHathor · 23/08/2013 13:38
Grin

Anyone want my dds?

OP posts:
AGnu · 23/08/2013 15:19

Yes please! They've got lovely hair. I want a little girl to dress in pretty clothes with long hair to plait. They'll both sit still while I play with their hair all day, right? Wink

FrussoHathor · 23/08/2013 17:19

Oh yes agnu definately not

Dd1 can can't sit still for love nor money.
Dd2 does have lovely ringlets/curls when she hasn't seen a hairbrush in 3 days she has hypersensitive hair/scalp in the build up to a major meltdown
You can dress dd1 in pretty dresses though. and then watch her tuck it in her pants and race the boys on her bike
Dd2 will let you put her in pretty dresses as long as she gets to choose the stompy boots shoes to go with it. Grin

I throw in a couple of wild little boys for a 4 for 2 deal for anyone who's interested.

M's got her jabs today. Feeling really nervous about it.

bringonthetrumpets · 23/08/2013 17:21

The eldest is great at locking all the doors and then slamming them shut for anyone who's interested.

FrussoHathor · 23/08/2013 17:23

Send them over bring we can release them into the wild let them play in the garden.
Poor M. Sad
