Share this with someone: • Tongue Tie And Lip Tie...
Maverick has been struggling for since he could eat solid foods with both a tongue tie and a lip tie.
We met with a specialist who said Maverick would need to go through feeding therapy to learn how to use the muscles in his mouth and tongue to prepare him for the procedure.
The procedure itself is very quick (takes about a minute) and done with a laser.
After the procedure Maverick was perfectly fine! We went home and he ate Mac and Cheese and played with Teagan. It was like nothing happened.
The hard part though really begins after the procedure. The mouth heals incredibly quick and to keep the tongue tie and lip tie from re-attaching we have to stretch his tongue and lip every four hours to make sure the mouth heals without them attaching. This includes getting up in the middle of the night to do them.
Fortunately, when we go in to do the stretches in the middle of the night Maverick goes back to sleep right after so he is not affected too badly with interrupting his sleep. Ryan and I, on the other hand, have felt like we are back in the newborn days being up a couple of times in the middle of the night. We happily do this for Maverick but it does mean a little extra coffee during the day!
If you think you may have a child or toddler or baby with a tongue tie or lip tie definitely have them checked because it is a very common thing and can have a big impact on your child's development with speech and eating.
