Tongue Tie

esmemehl

Has anyone had a baby with a tongue tie that you had clipped and it fixed issues with breastfeeding. 

I finally gave in today and had a Lactation Consultant come in to observe me feeding and she immediately noticed that my baby had a heart shaped tongue and that she had a tongue tie as part of it. My little one has a hard time keeping her tongue down so I can feed her which has led to many problems - including my breast starting to really hurt.

I am really scared to have her tongue clipped, but it seems to be a pretty common thing that is done.

I have a backup plan too, in case I decide not to get the procedure done. We are going to do some suck training with finger feeding and also try a nipple shield every other feeding to see if that will work.

Any experience/advise would be greatly appreciated.
