I am first time mom and when my son was born he was having a hard time eating; however I did not realize he was not latching on to me because I had never breatfed before. So, by the second or third day the nurse came in and said that he had lost a pound and needed to eat right away and they thought there might be a chance that he was tongue-tied and I had not clue what that was. So, in deperate need of wanting my son to eat and be healthy we gave him a bottle with Enfamil (formula). He drank it like a champ. When the pediatrician came in the next day we asked about it. She said, I thought he was; however you (meaning me) had stated that you thought he was latching on to you to eat and I didn't want to alarm you and thought everything was alright. So, she said since it is not we will do a procedure. So, right then, about 30 minutes later she took him into another room and my husband followed and clipped it. Then, they came back and the nurse was holding gauze on it; and remained doing so for 15 minutes and then he was perfectly healthy (he didn't even have to be put under). However, would not go back to breastfeeding, because of the speed and satisfaction of the bottle. And, ultimately I had to pump for four months. But, thank god they caught early. However, I later found out that I have a 45-year-old cousin whom was also tongue tied and still is and she never had any problems - I had no idea she was nor did anyone else except her parents. She was successful in school and work, married for 25-years, 3 kids and 1 grandkid. So, everything should be fine, since your son is a little older than mine he might have a little bit longer recovery time then him; however just be thankful your son and my son will never remember this and will thank us later when we tell them what happened. You are totally doing the right thing. Good lunch and I hope that everything goes well. You'll have to post an update on here after he has recovered. Congratulations to you on having two children now - that is so exciting. :) Merry Christmas
