We’re just about fully healed now at 15 days post revision. The white diamond is gone and the hole under his tongue is continuing to shrink. His was so deep it’s still got a little bit of healing left to do in the center. It’s interesting to see the scar that remains is very close…

There hasn’t been much really exciting going on lately, so I saved up a few days worth of pictures to show how he’s healing. I’m really glad I have these for documentation, I think they’ll be really useful for years to come in my practice and I highly recommend taking pictures of your child’s revision…
I’m starting to get that “you better slow down and get some rest or I’m going to make you” signal from my body, so it’s got to be a relatively early night for me tonight. We’re at one week out today and things are looking perfect. Because of the depth of his tie it will…
Things are going well on the healing front here and there’s not a lot of new information to report. Again, his diamond involuted only minorly last night, and we only swept it once, when I went to bed around 2am. He says the stretches don’t really cause him any pain, it’s just kind of gagging…
Today was a busy day for me, I spent half the day with Jessica Altemara, IBCLC at the South Carolina Breastfeeding Coalition Quarterly Meeting where she gave an awesome presentation about managing low milk supply. Because of that, we did our morning stretch routine and he was on his own for sweeps for the entire…
In an effort to get myself caught up so I can post daily updates on his progress in the evenings I’ll summarize what we’ve learned in the past few days and add some pictures hoping the WordPress formatting is functional enough. I’ll be up all night if I try and fancify them in to actual…
My oldest son, age 9, had his tongue tie released on Friday. Today is Monday. I mean, Tuesday. I’m trying to catch up but making graphics to compare all the pictures I’ve taken is taking me much longer than it should. It’s the perfectionist in me. So I’m trying to take a line from my…
Generally speaking, in life, it helps to be prepared for what’s coming. This holds true in caring for your child after their frenectomy. Since my son is older, the list of things I need on hand for him is pretty short. With babies the big addition is an alternative feeding method in case they go…
When I help a family prepare for the release, or revision, of an infant’s tongue and/or (usually and) lip tie, we talk about the three pillars. Having ties is something that impacts a person in many ways and as such needs to be treated from many angles for the best outcomes. So to help families…
Anyone who knows me personally, or even through just reading about me here on my website knows I have only recently really delved into the whole tongue tie world. With my first I don’t remember it being mentioned at all. And we had a lot of issues and tried a lot of things. When my…
