I've just had 1st baby (12 days old) and noticed he has a tongue tie. MW confirmed it, but said they don't tend to snip them anymore and advised just to mention it to GP at his 6wk check.
But my friend who's a mw and breastfeeding counsellor said that actually it's probably better to get it snipped (and she could refer me to get it done) especially if I want to bf (which I am).
I've started to get cracked bleeding nipples on one side and both are very sore and bruised and both mw and bf counsellor said it was probably because of the tongue tie.
What should I do people? Any advice would be gratefully received. I understand it can also cause speech probs?
