Thanks

I don’t think QA can do it! I was referred to the specialist in Southampton as they are the closest specialist to us!
The dr was really good, and reassuring! The division was super quick and it did improve her latch in our case which was our reasoning for doing it xx

oh that’s strange, I’ve been booked in for an assessment next week with my boy and they told me on the phone if it’s minor enough they’ll do it there and then?
And same reason for me, seems like it’s impacting his latch x

Oh perhaps they’ve hired someone recently at QA! Mine was done in February I had one appointment with the feeding specialist at QA but was told there wasn’t a tongue tie specialist here so was referred to Southampton! But it was still NHS and my experience was really positive so I imagine it would be the same xx

I was referred to Southampton because my little one was over 3-4 weeks at the time but would have been QA if she was within that age x

he will be just 3 weeks and 6 days on his appointment lol so hopefully they’ll do it there and then! X

I hope so, hope I haven’t just been given the wrong info on the phone. Glad to hear your experience was positive though, thank you x

Ohh yes ignore me that’s right my LO was 2 months by the time we got a referral 🤦🏼♀️ so that’s why I couldn’t have it done at QA

I don’t know what the process is now but my 8 year old has tonge tie and I didn’t get it done when she was little and now she has all her adult teeth she’s having to have braces and teeth out as it impacts on speech and jaw/mouth development. I wish she had had it done as a baby as she would have been less likely to have issues now x

I was told Southampton do it more than QA

My LG had hers done at 13 days old at QA. Same as you, it was an assessment and they decided to do it on the day.
It’s very quick and although she cried, they put her to the breast immediately and she was fine. We’ve had no issues with feeding since xx
