My baby is tongue tied. Add to that me having flat nipples and we make quite the pair! Tomorrow morning we’re taking her into the hospital to have her tongue snipped. The procedure is called Lingual Frenuloplasty. She’ll be put under and will have to stay at the hospital for observation for 23 hours. Fortunately we can stay at the hospital with her. Although it’s only a 15 minute procedure I left our surgery consult an emotional wreck. I’m really praying and hoping everything goes okay. I must say I am looking forward to a less tiring nursing schedule, hopefully. Other potential results of this going un-snipped are a heart-shaped tongue and a speech impediment. Despite all the pros I’m still heart broken that my baby has to have this done.
Thoughts, prayers, love, encouragement welcome and needed!
