Today I went to a pediatrician to look at my son's tongue-tied tongue and assess if it should be snipped.
The no-nonsense doctor did not have a strong opinion either way so it was upto me. She was quite willing to do it right there and then which I did not expect. I decided against it. He is feeding well and there does not seem to any problems. My doctor did not seem it necessary and a doctor in the neighbourhood also did not think it was a big deal unless problems present themselves.
Is it just people trying to get to 'normal' as soon as possible? The pediatrician indicated that is very thin and that it could stretch on its own and that she has never seen any kid who had problems because of having tongue tied. This thread also made me feel reassured to not 'snip'.
