When he was a month old we were having a lot of trouble breast feeding. It wasn't getting any better and hurt so bad to even proceed with it. I did a lot of research and learned about tongue ties. When we returned to the pediatrician I mentioned it to her and she checked for us to see what she could find. She said he had a PTT (posterior tongue tie) which is a tie farther back (tongue ties are when the little piece of meat under your tongue is connected to far). She was kind enough to refer us to an ENT to get it clipped.
Today the little guy and I went to the ENT. We packed up the car and battled all the tunnel traffic on the way to Portsmouth naval. When we got in there the doctor and student doctor were both very nice. The only problem with our trip is that the doctor said he couldn't find a tongue tie.
This is VERY common with tongue ties. You'll have to see many doctors to get one that says yes. Another trip to the pediatrician we will make to get yet another referral to some other hospital.
Did I mention my little boy can totally rock his Vans? :) we went out to eat last night since Daddy came home for a bit. He's been doing inserv and last night he had to be back to the ship at 10PM. Thankfully he got to come visit us and head out for a quick dinner to celebrate 2.5 years of being a couple.
B also did his tummy time today. He's gotten soooo good at holding his head up but won't do it for more them five minutes. He gets really fussy and gives up :)
