It's hard for me to write this because it makes me so angry! We were assigned this office after the birth of my daughter. At her two month appt, I brought up to the nurse practitioner that I thought she had a lip tie and tongue tie. SHE ACTUALLY SAID TO ME "lip ties don't exist, and if she had a tongue tie she wouldn't be able to move her tongue at all" She's a professional, I assumed her to be knowledgeable and trustworthy so I brushed it off. Meanwhile, dealing with sore and cracked nipples, bleeding and an improper latch. She told me I was just using the wrong position while nursing. I was determined to provide the best nutrition for my baby, even though it often made my toes curl up in pain.
I switched practices last week, I was tired of dealing with the unprofessionalism at this office (solids should not be started at 4 months! it's not the 70's anymore, said I was going to let my daughter choke and suffer for doing baby-led weaning) And at her new office they confirmed she does have an lip tie AND a tongue tie, and she's getting it revised August 7th. I can't believe I suffered for so long because a medical professional is not educated on this subject! Not to mention lip and tongue ties can cause severe dental and speech issues later on in life! DO NOT go here!
