Tongue tie release while nose congestion - PLEASE HELP

I have the ENT appointment tomorrow and they ve told me they’re gonna have a look at the little ones tongud tie and release it if necessary. Appointment is tomorrow and my LB is having a stuffy nose and struggling a bit to breath because of the nose block. Clingy as ever and little hard to feed him not impossible.

I don’t want to wait any long to get this checked and released, he is already 12 weeks this Friday and is having a poor weight gain because of the short feedings. Please advise me how bad will it be if they release the tongue tie while the baby is already having a stuffy nose? And will they do it anyway? Or will they ask me to come back on another day? I checked with the GP today and she confirmed its nothing to worry he is just having a cold and everything else is ok.

What should I do? Whats ur suggestions and what was it like after the release of the tongue tie for a similar aged baby if you have any experience?

My girl has a stuffy nose especially when she’s laying down but I believe it’s from her tie. We’re on our way to her revision (second one as more came through the floor on her tongue one. First time they did 4 releases, 2 cheeks, 1 tongue, 1 top lip).

I’d maybe call and ask them. Some babies get congestion in their sinuses due to ties so it’s probably not something they’d be entirely concerned about but I’d check in with them.

4 releases? What are cheeks, tongue and top lip? What do you mean by this?

yes, she had 2 cheek (buccal) ties one on each side at the top, a top lip (maxillary) tie and a tongue (ankyloglossia) tie.

The tongue tie had to be revised and cut again which we did earlier today. Her congestion is gone now and a lot of her symptoms have lightened up already.

I’d maybe call the ENT and just confirm they’d still like to do it even with her having a bit of a cold or if they’d like to reschedule.

Thanks alot

Did they manage to do it? We went for my little boys appt yesterday and they couldn’t do it because he was so bunged up so now we have to go through it all again next week but he has had a blocked nose since birth so don’t see how it will be clear by then. He is 8 weeks so don’t want to leave it much longer

Hi yes, they did release the tongue tie.

I think Motherhood has made me more bitter than I realized…

This is such a ramble but I don’t know where else to put it all.

I’m four months in and I don’t really have hobbies right now. I don’t do anything for myself except maybe doomscrolling or listening to a podcast while I breastfeed my baby. I used to craft and have game nights with friends. Activities that usually are at least 2 hour stretches. Now if I have an hour free my mind immediately goes to baby, or doing something in the house for baby.

And I thought I didn’t mind. Like I knew postpartum could be very mentally consuming. But I think it’s altering how I view people around me and it’s prodding at my relationship with my husband.

He spends most of his time making food for us, looking after our dogs, playing with the baby, ect. But he still has time for his hobby. Spends maybe an hour a night on it. Even adapted to using a bot for shopping for his hobby after a certain incident where we had to have a heart to heart after he left me home alone with the baby for hours during a busy workday (I work from home) to shop for his hobby.

And yet there’s like this little green eyed monster in me that rages every time I know he’s running off to start up the bot. Even though I’m the reason he does it this way.

We took a family trip last weekend to see his best friend and their kids and let them meet the baby. He brought the laptop. He’s always brought a laptop on trips and it’s never been a problem to me before. But one night we both woke up while the baby was still asleep, and he wandered out of the room. I tried to fall back asleep but couldn’t. So I went to the kitchen to try having something warm to drink to settle me. And he was there at the table running the bot from his laptop. I flipped out at him. But there really wasn’t reason to. It’s not like I needed help with the baby and he was ignoring me. He wasn’t avoiding our friends. He was just awake and unable to sleep and found something to do with his time. Yet my snap reaction was “why the hell would you do this on a family trip?”

I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s the less complete sleep from baby’s middle of the night feed? My brain being just consumed by baby? Maybe I’m not as over that shopping incident as I thought? But I’m just so annoyed at his hobby right now. The green eyed monster thinks “you could be using that time differently” but realistically to do what exactly??? Stare at our baby in the dark???

I spent probably an hour apologizing to him after I snapped. And he’s of course hurt and frustrated because I said some very mean things in the moment.

I don’t want to be this jealous, angry person. But I also don’t know how to find time for myself in this right now outside of basic hygiene. It’s like I’ve forgotten how to be myself, even if just for an hour.

Maybe I need a therapist.

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.
