Laser release for a 2-week-old baby
Tongue tie in a newborn, can be distressing for the whole family. The main issues reported by the parents here, included painful latching on the breast, spillage of milk from the mouth corners, and slow weight gain.
When the Surgeon at Tongue Tie Surrey reviewed the baby, there was a significant and restrictive tongue tie.
The parents consented for a laser release to be carried out. The benefits of this technique include reduced bleeding post-operatively. Moments later, the tongue is able to move freely and baby even has better mouth opening.
Immediately after, mum had the first comfortable latch and there was reduced milk spillage from the corners of the baby’s mouth.
Upon review, the parents explained how the tongue tie release has eased their anxiety with the baby’s feeding routine especially as he was gaining weight adequately.
