In reply to Alida TheRealisticMama. What kind of specialist did you see for the lip tie problem. I think my 2 month is lip tied and has had several of the symptoms you indicated.

Thank you for sharing your story. I’m having my 6 week old son evaluated soon. We have had so many issues beginning with hospitalization at 2 and a half weeks for jaundice. Tongue tie was dismissed as a factor. I wish I had researched it more. Our evaluation is 1 week away, and I was wondering if you have any helpful tips on how to latch my baby in the meantime. I’m desperate. These 6 weeks have been challenging to say the very least. Thank you so much.

Luckily we had a nurse with a granddaughter with a tongue tie who checked my son the day he was born. This was confirmed after his first appointment and the doctor cut his tongue when he was less than one week old. All we had to do was nurse immediately after it was done. I was worried he would be in pain but he screamed more getting weighed naked than for the clipping!

In reply to Alida. At 9.5 months things with bf have improved some. She mostly doesn't pull back anymore, but still doesn't flange her top lip @ has a shallow latch at times. I've had trouble with her digging her teeth in that is probably related to teething also. She eats table food very well without any problems. We will continue our fb journey at least until one year, but I sure wish I could hear from more moms that haven't revised.

In reply to Marcie. In our case by the time we found our my daughter was already improving. How is your babe doing now?

This sounds like our story : /
My babe is 7 months and we finally found out she’s tied. Her latch is shallow & sometimes she keeps pulling back so she slips off. It can be frustrating for both of us. She is a fussy one & totally refuses milk from anything but the breast. Please tell me how you story has continued. How have the unrevised ties affected your baby since then?

In reply to JASMIN. I recommend finding someone that specializes in tongue tie/lip tie consultations. After a lot of research I recommend finding someone who can perform frenectomies using the diode laser. Here is some more great information and the specialist that we went to see: https://www.littleflowermd.com/tongue-tie-lip-tie.html. Hope that helps!

What kind of specialist did you see besides a lactation consultant. I suspect my baby has both.

In reply to Samantha. Thanks for your kind words, I am so glad you found it helpful. It's a really rough thing to go through especially when you don't know what's wrong. Hope the appointment goes well and you have success nursing after!
