We've had a few in recent years and the paed has
simply done the snip on day one, saves delay in establishing feeding! In
past years it was felt better to leave it to strech in time but this led to some
severe TT's not ever establishing feeding well. My nephew (29yo) was never
treated (bottle fed by choice) and still talks with a lisp, so I am in favour of
early treatment when needed. Seems to cause little pain and takes but a
moment - seems to me better than struggling with feeds/speech etc. But I
do not know of background research to support this - just my
observation.

Subject: [ozmidwifery] tongue tie
snip?
Hi all,
advice for a woman whose
first baby had a severe tongue tie that was never diagnosed until way too late
by which time bf had just not worked for her at all. She's pg again and
looking for support just in case this one has TT as well but has been told she
can't have it fixed straight after birth but has to go on a waiting list to
get it done. This makes her pretty anxious after last time's hellish
experience.
She's in western Sydney. Any
ideas?
Much
appreciated!
