Circ and tongue-tie? - Page 3

[mags]

Comparing tongue tie to circ is like comparing apples to oranges!!!! : My son was so severely tongue tied, I ended up getting his frenulum clipped when he was a little bit over 6 wks old. I was crying every time he nursed, b/c it hurt so much and was ready to quit. The ped who did it said it was the most severe tongue tie he had ever seen and was impressed that I was even able to nurse him for as long as I did. About a wk after it was clipped, I started to notice a dramatic improvement and my son always started to gain a lot more wt.

My son was tongue-tied, too. His Grandpa is. The LC didn't think it was bad, so we went home from the hospital. But nursing was EXCRUCIATING for me, so we had him clipped at a week old. I don't think I would have continued nursing with that horrific pain, but he's a year old and still nursing.

I didn't see it at all the same as circ. The foreskin doesn't interfere with anything, but the tongue tie was.
