Tongue-tie (Ankyloglossia) and a mom's summary after the tongue was released by an ENT: “After the birth of my baby I found breastfeeding to be very painful no matter how the latch was changed. The baby had a tongue-tie and it was recommended that we get it clipped. The procedure was very simple and straight forward. My husband held our son in his lap while the doctor quickly held our son's tongue and clipped the frenulum with one snip. The procedure itself lasted only a second, there were just a few drops of blood, and our baby slept through the entire thing. I breastfed 15 minutes later, and was pain-free. Resolving his tongue tie has made a night-and-day difference in my breastfeeding experience, and I highly recommend the procedure to anyone else whose child has a tongue tie."
