This is great information! As a dentist doing laser revisions, this personal journey will help so many other parents give babies the best future possible!
My younger daughter has both a tongue and lip tie. The lactation consultant at our hospital was the one who figure it out after we stuggled with feeding. She ended up getting the procedure at the hospital before we were even discharged. The second I held her again she was sticking her tongue in and out of her mouth like she had never been able to do before and breastfeed went well. This is great info and I'm just glad our lactation consultant found it as early as she did.
I'm so glad she found it!! That's amazing you were able to get it done in the hospital, I wish that were an option where I delivered, but sadly, it's not. It's seriously amazing the difference post revision. Thank you for sharing your experience!!
It's worth it. We need to get it done. I'm still doing research.
Thank you for making this!! There’s hardly anything on the internet about this and practically no videos so this is super helpful!
That’s exactly why I made this video! I was so scared and overwhelmed. I’m glad you found it helpful! 💕
I knew something was up with my daughter. She was making the clicking sound, she was feeding constantly, spitting up sooo much, unhappy in comparison to how her older sister had been as a newborn, taking in so much air and having trouble breathing while feeding. I did some online research and discovered lip ties, I’ve heard of tongue ties but not lip. And I immediately lifted my daughters top lip and felt relief, she has a lip tie! There is something not 100%, there is a reason for my baby not being a happy baby, I now know what is going on with my daughter and there are things I can do to help her! This was my discovery a few hours ago. Now I’ve been doing some more research and made an appointment for her first thing in the morning. And till then giving my husband all the snidbits of information I gain, thank you for adding to it!
I’m so happy you found this video helpful! I hope your appointment went well!! It’s crazy how much ties can effect things. I saw an immediate difference in my little one and I hope you will too!! 💕💕 if you have any questions at all just let me know!
It’s been a week since having a posterior tongue tie clipped, and we just had the lip tie corrected with a laser this morning. It’s interesting that when we met with her pediatrician, who isn’t too well versed with them, all he saw was that our daughter had been gaining weight decently despite what the toll it was taking on us. And I was made to feel like I shouldn’t push to have things corrected. Meeting with the doctor who does laser procedures for cases like ours provided me with comfort for making the right decision. The lip tie was pulling on her top jaw line in such a way it was causing it to come to a point, thus would have caused more physically permanent and developmental issues down the road for her if I just listened to her pediatrician instead of momma intuition.
YES! I had the same experience. I love our ped so much, but I’m so thankful I listened to my gut when it came to getting her revised. Mommas intuition is ALWAYS right!! I hope your sweet babe heals quickly & is doing well after getting her procedure done! I think it was harder on me than it was for Olivia.

Just had my little baby girl on the 10th, she has a lip tie. I am both dreading and excited for the appointment for her to get it fixed. Dread hearing her cry, like o cry thinking about it.... but excited to see her HAPPY once it's fixed and her being FULL from eatting. Thank you for making this video.
Congrats on your sweet girl!! It's totally worth it. It truly made a world of difference for us. Sending you love and praying she does wonderful with her revision (which I'm sure she will!!) Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! The “you’re not doing it to her, you’re doing it for her” was a sigh of relief for me. My baby girl is one and barely getting hers done today.
I hope all went well for your girl!
This is so helpful, thank you! We just had my sons lip and tongue tie lasered. Affirmation that this procedure WILL help him. 💙
Awesome! My daughter has upper, lower lip AND tongue tie! She's not speaking yet and we definitely feel it's due to this. Looking into getting it fixed ASAP.
very helpful! coz rn i’m researching about ties coz my baby was diagnosed having lip tie and I haven’t decided regarding the surgery.
but all the symptoms above mentioned was true! feeding was very frequent and exhausting. thank you for this info. xoxo
I'm so glad you found it helpful! Best of luck to you and your little one!!
Thank you for making this video. I'm also a member of The Cleavage Club. My son had a tongue tie. I went to get it revised. Still experiencing pain. I didn't know he was lip tied until i showed Cass a pic today. She said, "crazy restricted." Now, i need to go get his lip revised too. It's unfortunate it wasn't done at once. I wish more providers were educated about this.
My son is experiencing EXACTLY the same symptoms as your Olivia was feeling with you.
I'm so sorry you're having to go through that again! I agree, definitely unfortunate it wasn't all done at once! Super frustrating. I hope things get better once you get revised again! Revision saved our breastfeeding relationship, and I LOVE The Cleavage Club! Such an amazing resource.
Thank you very much for making this video. Today is my son's appointment to tongue and lip ties laser revision, and your video is very helpful ❤❤
Thanks for making this video! Super helpful in the decision making process. Was worried about the cost but sounds worth it!
It was so worth it for us! I’m so glad you found it helpful.
Same our app is on Tuesday and I’m so nervous
You mentioned the baby’s symptoms, wondering if you had any symptoms. Our biggest struggle is the pain I am in! Nipple bleeding, cracking, injury. This is my second and looking back I really should have gone after this for my first. He and I struggled way more than my 2nd. He’s only 7 days old and thankfully is gaining weight fine and is able to hold the latch but we do have difficulties with a deep latch and the lactation consultant said he is lip and tongue tied to a degree.
My daughter wasn’t getting a deep latch either! I had the lipstick shaped nipples after she got finished eating, and I occasionally dealt with soreness after she ate! I hope it gets better for y’all, getting my daughter revised saved our BF relationship!
Thank you so much for this! This was so helpful! I’m nervous to get this done to my girl next week but this made me feel so much better!
This is exactly how my baby is. I'm praying the release relieves the gas and spitting up. It would be nice if it helped some of my discomfort
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! This is really helpful 😊 may I know the intensity of doing those stretches? Like how many times of upper lip & tongue stretch for each round of stretching? My dentist advised me to do 30stretches of upper lip and 30 for tongue and five times per day. and it s heartbreaking to hear my baby screaming every time….
You say you have ties too? Did you have them revised and if you haven't, do you feel it has affected you negatively?
Thank you so much for this video I’m so worried about doing it but will if it’s best. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for this video. It’s super helpful!!!
Thank you for making this video. I've been researching and trying to find a video of a mom discussing the difference between before and after the actual procedure.
I seriously did soo much research and had the hardest time finding information! I hope this helped you!!
@@MeghanMeade we scheduled our procedure, how has it been going for you, is she nursing differently and how is she gaining now
@@justinehartt8650 You won't regret it!! She's nursing like a champ. It definitely was different at first and I had to help her learn to latch again but it wasn't bad AT ALL! She's 17 lbs at four months old so she's gaining great!! I hope everything goes well for you!
I’m soooo glad you made this video. We have every single symptom you mentioned. I went back and forth on getting it revised because her latch is great and she’s gaining weight, but she is so so colicky. We have an appointment tomorrow to get my babes revised with a laser. Super nervous but excited to see results. How soon did you start seeing a difference in your babe? Any tips on the healing process?
We were the same way, Olivia was gaining great and eating enough, but she had so many other symptoms!! It's worth the revision for sure even though it's soo hard hearing them cry and in pain but we are over a month out now & it's amazing the difference!! I literally saw a difference the day of the revision. Her latch was stronger immediately & she ate longer & stayed full for longer! The healing process was a breeze, the stretches do suck but she only cried while we were doing them, right after she was fine! Thanks for watching and good luck tomorrow!!
Hi how did it go
Same exact situation with my son, it makes it so much harder to put them through it!
hi my baby is 7month old and he had tongue tie we are struggling feeding food and do u struggling with sleeping problems with your baby my baby have sleeping problem mostly we didn't sleep at night
My doc wants to do clip not laser but she. Never did it before. What should I do
Was your baby cranky afterwards? I just got my sons done less than 24 hours ago and he is very very cranky.
Yes for sure! Our Dr. recommenced Tylenol so that's what we did and it helped a lot! After about two days she was back to normal other than when we had to do stretches.
Can you go over why you chose laser instead of clipping? I’m not finding a lot of information on this
With clipping the chances of it growing back are much higher. Later is less invasive, quicker, and doesn’t hurt them as bad!
How can you tell if your child has lip or tounge tie ?
Take them to a professional and have them check for you.
I have a newborn nephew who was just born like 2 weeks ago he just went to the doctor a few days ago . His mom just posted on her Facebook that he had a lip and tongue tie . He just had his tongue cut shorter due to that and he’s eating a lot better slowly but he’s eating . He also wasn’t taking the pacifier and now he’s eating slowly
I'm so glad he's eating better!
Meghan Meade the whole thing with his lip and tongue tie scared me cause I never heard of such a thing
How was the pain right after heading home???
Thank you for this video so good to hear other experiences our son was in the surgery yesterday he had both lip and tongue tie and he is so cranky the day after hopefully it gets better but I see he is smiling more 🥰 did this effect your baby's sleep ? How was it after ? 😊
My daughter was cranky the day after too! It got much better as time went on!! It didn't effect her sleep at all!!
Okay thank you 😊 looking forward after 3 weeks of doing this exercises and seeing how he feels 💕
How’s your daughter doing now? Was the laser worth it? I think my daughter has ties and we’re facing a consult with a pedi dentist.
1000% worth it
Curious about a 2 month update?
Hi thank you for making this video. My son has the same situation as ur daughter. I decided to become exclusive pumping mom since I couldnt able to feeding him 20 times a day and I need to spare my time for my daughter also. It has been two months since I struggled with the feeding, my baby keep asked for milk every hour but its only 40-70 ml per feeding. Spit out a lot, gassy, and I suspect it reflux in the first time. I also consulted with his PD, but the doctor did not take seriously since my son's weight gain was good.
Then I kept searching whats wrong with my son and suspect tongue tie. We just clipped his tongue yesterday. But based on my observation, his milk intake per day not increase, and still has click sound while feeding with his bottle. I assume he still learn to use his new tongue. How long did it take with ur daughter to find out the change after frenotomy? Thanks in advance :)
I know every baby is different, but my baby figured it out right away! How are things going for you??
Would like to know if there was any improvement at all. I am going to get the procedure done for my 8 week old son .
How severe where your babies ties? My baby has a moderate lip tie and a mild tongue tie.. My husband doesn’t want to do the revision but I do. He has all the symptoms you mentioned
I’m thinking she had stage 4 lip and tongue.
Hi there! I just had my son's upper lip and tonguentie revison done yesterday (he's 3 weeks old)...I knew from day 2 that he was at least lip tied. I asked my doctor and 2 different nurses at the breastfeeding clinic to check for it. They did not think it was a problem. I had a lactation consultant come to my house and she told me she wanted me to get him checked by a dentist who does a lot of those revision. Come to find out he had a class 3-4 upper lip tie and a class 3 tongue tie. My husband and I are so happy we did this for him.
Can you tell me how long it took your daughter to correct her latch? I'm 36 hours out of the procedure and he's still having trouble figuring out how to use his tongue.
Thanks!!
Hi there!! I’m soo sorry I’m just now seeing this and getting back to you. I have another baby now (six weeks old) and found that it’s taken him about 2 weeks to figure it out. My daughter figured it out right away. How’s it going for you now?? If you haven’t seen a good LC I’d ask whoever did the revision if they have any recommendations for you
@@MeghanMeade hi! Thanks for the reply...he figured it out probably 2 weeks after revision. After the 5 week follow-up we have to do the tongue revision again. We're going next week to do it. Hopefully it will be good this time. Congrats on the new baby!
Thanks for the info.... We r looking into Now! 🏃♂️
Did you see an occupational therapist or any other specialist before/after the release? I have a two week old baby girl with a lip and tongue tie and I’m super anxious/stressed about it.
I saw a lactation consultant a few times after to ensure her latch was correct!
Did they use numbing gel?
How old was Olivia when you did the procedure ? My baby is 3 weeks old he is scheduled for his on Monday with water laser but I’m so scared especially because I don’t think they can have Tylenol. How long did it take for her to heal ?
Olivia was 8 weeks, but I wish we would've done it sooner!! It didn't take her long to heal at all, the first week was the worst of it. I hope your little one did well with it!!
Omg i just had my baby boy and found that he may have a lip tie and I’m so nervous to get this done but i know i need to. Everything you explained is exactly what my son is going through. I just went through it for his circumcision and lost it 😭😭😭 did you have to see a lactation coach after? Did you have to give her any pain medication? Was she is a lot of pain afterwards? I hate seeing babies in pain like give it to me 😫
I am sending positive vibes and prayers your way! It isn’t easy being a mama and seeing your baby suffer. I saw a lactation consultant once after we got the procedure done! I did give her Tylenol if she acted like she needed it! The doctor numbed the area. In our experience, she was not in a lot of pain after! It went much better than I ever expected it to go. Right after she acted totally fine, that evening we gave her Tylenol because she acted fussy, and the next day she acted fine again! The stretches weren’t fun, but she just fussed during them and after she was fine! If you have any more questions please don’t hesitate to ask! 💙💙💙
My 3 month old had lip cheek and posterior tongue tie lasered Thursday. She just isn’t herself. I’m so worried she will be scarred for life. How long did it take for your baby to return to herself? I don’t have support at home. I had to make this choice myself. My husband did not agree. But she ate al the time too and can’t take a bottle and it was painful for me to feed her. I still struggle with my decision.
She will be back to her normal self, don't worry!! It took my daughter a few days, every baby is different. If she's in pain, call the practitioner and ask if you can give her anything for the pain! Sending good vibes your way! I'm so sorry you don't have support home, I'm here for you!!
@@MeghanMeade thank you so much! I did speak to my husband openly about how I feel so that felt good and I got some reassurance.
@@brookeallen2170 hey so how is your daughter doing now ?? My son is 2 months and he also has a posterior cheek tie and a lip tie
I’m scared and worried
Just researching
Thank you for making this video.
I hope it helped you!!
Do you have pictures of your babies lip and tongue tie ?
I do!
Did your baby sound congested after eating?? Like something was stuck in their throat
I would like to know this too! I was recently advised my 3 month old has a tongue tie and I want to say lip tie as well according to Megan but I’ll definitely have the doc double check. But he has sounded congested since birth and I’ve asked the pediatrician a few times and they always say he sounds fine. And I’m like how he sounds like he’s sick or has phlegm all the time.
Not that I remember!! I would definitely call a pediatric dentist who does revisions and ask if that's a symptom! Google may have an answer as well.
@@debbiehernandez9670 my newborn is like this and sounds constantly congested. I am hoping the procedure also helps with this and the colic/reflux symptoms. Among several other.
Baby suffering from all symptoms you mentioned but not making click sound, should we still go get it?
I would talk to a professional!
Doesn't all it take is a visit to the doc and a quick snip under the lip?
Sounds like fancy $$$ maker for the other end...That's just all I know 😊
Did they use any numbing gel or anything
The doctor we used did use numbing cream.
