Tongue tie assessment with infant feeding team
Hi ladies,
I had an assessment with the infant feeding team and the result was borderline. They said she had a milky coated tongue at the back and a high palate. Not sure what all this means. My baby hiccups before and after feeds and sometimes the latch is sore but she has been gaining weight steadily so weight isn't a concern. Not sure if it's related but sometimes after a feed she also coughs, maybe this is related to fast milk flow... The team has referred me to the tongue tie team but just not sure or convinced she needs the snip or not. Is it fair to snip if she doesnt really need it? There is no pain relief for the baby so don't want to get it done unnecessarily. Anyone else had a borderline result?

Cant say about borderline but can on when jfs done. we had one affecting 90% of function had it done. He cried less than 20 seconds was all okay was 2 weeks old was okay following it his normal self.
His latch improved and was easyer him to drink
We did it privately as when he was born no referal in chelmsford. She was good assessed if it would be worth doing or not if she didnt think needed doing she would say. If she didnt do it it wasnt as expensive
