Six years ago the second son was born, 7lbs 3oz, ok weight therefore at Kings. No one checked his tongue and I didn't even know about such a thing ie the membrane on the bottom of the tongue being very tight and almost stuck to the base of the mouth.Official name I think is a tight frenum. Exclusively breastfed, knew exactly what to do as did the same for son 1, however baby relied on let down as incapable of working the breast for the hind milk. He had 6 week check at 10 weeks as they couldn't fit him in at the surgery, whereupon the HV tells me she has suspected all along he has this condition and will need op to release the tongue. He had the surgery at Kings one week later, got infected, wouldn't take breast or bottle, you can imagine the stress.I told the HV her actions were immoral etc, left that surgery asap.So what's the point of all this?Please ask for your baby to have this checked in hospital or straightaway by midwife if home birth. This thing is not picked up in scans. Good news is boy 2 is healthy and talks very well and loves life even though he eats like a little bird, too busy enjoying life.

    • One of the best of Shakespeare 's plays.  I did Othello for A level. Also seen a number of stage and film versions. Is there any specific aspects of the play that is difficult for your daughter to understand?  
    • @Sue think this is your quote.  It wasn't binary, good Vs bad, and Corbyn had a lot of popular support, as evidenced by the previous election. He had aot of good policies, some picked up by others since. He was defeated by a mixture of a right wing press,good targeting the Johnson 'Get Brexit Done" and for some that Johnson was a funny loveable rogue/fool/liar/philander/opportunist.  I wouldn't see choosing the perceived least worst candidate out of the two major parties as being "good sense'.  We imagine that Corbyn would have been terrible, but we don't know.  He would have taken a stronger line against Israel in Gaza, not sucked up to Trump nut on Russia?  Would the UK be better for that?
    • We have had 4 greyhounds - the last one, a bitch, was not speyed so we  had to pay for that at our local vet.  Only one dog was nervous around children and only one was cat friendly.
    • Apologies on the tardy reply, but thank you everyone for your responses and suggestions! Unfortunately I couldn't attend the recent EDF drinks because of work (I know right). But will absolutely keep eyes peeled for the next one and try and come down!
