SS - frenulum

in June 2014 Moms
LO is getting his frenulum clipped today. Never thought it was an issue because he is such a good nurser, but ped said it will cause speech issues later as it is really tight. Anybody have experience with their LO? What should I expect? I'm nervous.

    @rachelnjacob‌ as someone who had it done as a 30 year old adult I can tell you that it doesn't hurt its fast and heals quickly. But I'm sure with a baby anything in his mouth and involving snipping might be a little traumatic. Was just with my SIL last night and she had it done for my niece. She said she cried a lot but they had her nurse right away and that seemed to soothe her a bit. Good luck today it will probably be more stressful for you than it is for him xo

    @jenn72178‌ - I am super stressing! It just breaks my heart to hear him cry and I'm dreading it but I know he will be ok. I guess I didn't realize they could nurse right away!

    She was more upset by being held down than she was by having the procedure. We saw a pediatric dentist who used a laser. She was fussy for the first 2 days after but today she's seeming better.

    DS had this done at three weeks. His latch was causing major pain for me. (Cracking nips) They put a little numbing spray on, snipped, he cried, nursed almost right away. Took about 5 min for a good latch due to numbing. I thought he nursed fine beforehand but after he got SO much more milk and over ate/spit up a ton after. Took a few days to even out again. Now we are good!

    It's nbd. LO had it at 5 days and has to have it done again (it reattached). She cried for two seconds, popped on the boob and all was well. Don't worry about it!

    DD got hers done at 10 days old. It was harder on me then it was on her. She cried for less than five minutes then nursed right away. It healed nicely and she hasn't had any problems.

    He cried when they were in his mouths and like you, it was hard for me to hold him still. He nursed afterwards but he was fussy ALL NIGHT. Like he cried so hard he was hoarse. DH and I took him for a long walk and he slept but he was up a lot despite Tylenol and nursing and snuggles. He definitely has found out that he can stick his tongue out! He's doing better today. Glad it's over. :)
