r/TongueTies

My baby My baby was born with a tongue-tie. At the time, our pediatricians were on the fence about whether we should have it released. More importantly, though, breastfeeding was going really well and the baby was gaining weight normally, so we ultimately decided not to go ahead with the procedure the newborns days.
Now that my baby is 4.5 months old, we’re planning to see a pediatric surgeon at some point to assess whether the tongue-tie actually needs to be released.
The reason I’m a little worried about leaving it untreated is the possibility that it could cause speech problems later on. Since breastfeeding has gone really well, I’m not particularly concerned about feeding, but I’m wondering about speech as my baby gets older.
Is there anyone here whose baby had a tongue-tie that wasn’t released and is now old enough for you to know whether it caused any speech problems? I’d also really appreciate hearing any other experiences you’ve had with this.
Thank you

My 9 week old (exclusively breastfed )had tongue and lip tie release done 2 weeks ago

She is still gulping air! Like really gulping ! when it happens it startles her and I can hear it swoop down into the stomach
And she does this multiple times
I do have a fast letdown but she does it even sometimes at end of feed

She’s also still clicking

My LC said I should see improvements by the 2 week mark I’m going to follow up again next week

The surgeon is very reputable and been doing stretches on time
We arnt doing exercises as advised not too just yet

She did have RSV when she was 7 days old and had a NG feeding tube for a day

Anyone had something similar?
Did u see improvements eventually ?

Hi all, needing advice about what to do. Some background, my LO is 8 weeks today. He previously had an anterior tongue tie that was revised when he was a few days old.
I am currently going through a nursing strike with my son where he is refusing to latch if he is awake or overstimulated. I’ve been surviving on catching him at the end of naps and sometimes with supplement with a bottle if he is borderline refusing and needs to eat. The last couple of days I’ve seen some improvement from him latching but still saw an IBCLC today. Long story short, she said she believes my son has a posterior tongue tie and upper body tension. The plan is to do oral a body exercises/stretches and he is scheduled with a dentist in town for a consult regarding his tongue tie but she also recommended he see an infant chiropractor. She isn’t the first person to recommend one, but I am cautious about such a thing as he is so young and there is mixed reviews about chiropractors especially for infants. Has anyone ever been in a similar situation and if so how did you proceed? Thanks in advance
