and they were all mine..
Ha ha haaa
Before the snip.
Today we took Zaria to see a Paediatrician at the hospital to get her tongue tie checked out.
The doctor was looking at her tongue by putting his finger on her bottom gum and pushing it down towards her chin. Zaria thought that was hilarious and kept laughing at him.
It was soooo cute.
He said because she couldn't stick her tongue out past her lips that this would definately be effecting her latch when feeding, so the decision was made to snip it underneath.
Before the snip.(her tongue couldn't poke out any more than this, the more she tried to stick it out the more it curled under)
After the snip.
Mummy was a big chicken and couldn't bear to watch so went for a walk down the hall while it was being done. Daddy stayed with her.
When I got back they handed her to me and there was all this blood in her mouth so I burst into tears.
I felt so mean... my poor lil baby.
But Zaria was fine.. she cried for a minute but it was more because they were holding her head still and she didn't like that!
Now she cant stop playing with her tongue. She is always sticking it out and wiggling it around. It is actually getting harder to get a photo of her with it in.. I am waiting for the novelty to wear off. Ha ha ha!
It has also made feeding a lot better. Her suck is a LOT stronger so she can get more milk and I am going to try to cut out the formula top ups.
YAY!!
