Blogging for Babies, Breastfeeding and Mothers

Sometimes three time's a charm and this was certainly true for this mother. I have seen such a huge difference in breastfeeding when a tongue tie is divided. Unfortunately the initial division doesn't always do the trick. But don't give up hope, even if you have to have it done over again.

Hey Debbie!

Great to hear from you. I have been thinking about you too and was planning to send you an e-mail today, in fact.

Life is very busy, but good. I had an easier time going back to work in the beginning, now I am struggling with it because he gets cuter every day! I am still adjusting to the "juggling act" :)

Nursing is going very well, I could not have done it without you! The third tongue-tie division really helped us turn the corner and we have been enjoying nursing every since. I love every minute of nursing now. He is still a snacker, which I knew he would be, he rarely nurses both breasts at one feeding - but he never spits up, so I am not complaining. My milk supply has remained more than adequate and I find I really only need to pump once/day to have enough milk for him at day care and still maintain a good supply. I have recently figured this out, so if I find my supply dropping I will go back to 2 pumping sessions during the day.

He had his 2 front bottom teeth break through within the last 5 days. Nursing has been slightly less comfortable with the teething, but his tongue is out over his bottom teeth when nursing and he has not bit me yet. He still prefers the breast over the bottle, which is wonderful!

I am so grateful to have found you to help me through some of the most difficult days of my life!  

I am so passionate about breastfeeding and was so glad to have come across someone who truly helped me succeed. You have actually made me more passionate about breastfeeding than I was before, which I love!

Sincerely - R & S :)

For this mother, it took the initial division and two revisions-- 2 1/2 hour drive one way-- before breastfeeding became comfortable. She was so tenacious, not willing to stop before she tried everything. She has inspired me to encourage revision of tongue ties when the first one doesn't solve the issue 100%! I'm not willing to take living with nipple pain and/or slow, inefficient feedings as the only way to continue breastfeeding.
