Tongue tie division at St Thomas's?

[Daisyonok]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone had any experience of the tongue tie clinic at St Thomas's? Recently attended the one at King's, but was put off by the description of the procedure and, specifically, the post-procedure wound management they advise. I gather Tommy's has a slightly different approach, and wondered if anyone had taken their baby for tongue tie division there? Had been hopeful we'd get by without, but still in a lot of pain breastfeeding (baby 5 weeks today)...

Many thanks for any thoughts.

Hi,

I feel your dilemma.

My daughter had her tongue tie cut at Kings in November. I wasn't taken with the medic who carried out the procedure either or his recommendations for post operative care. Have a look on YouTube, there are some examples of how to massage the wound gently and playfully, not at all like the methods suggested at kings. Also look up the research yourself, just in google. The evidence is mixed I thought and depends on the type of tongue tie your child has. In the end we didn't massage the wound with our daughter and in didn't grown back.

Good luck!

Just thought I should add....so in the end Kings did a fine job cutting the tongue tie.
