(2/2) “We went to a couple of lactation consultants when she was little and we were having so much trouble. It really wasn’t super helpful. She was already 9 months old when her lip and tongue tie were diagnosed. It was when her teeth were first coming in, and we were pulling up her lip to show the doctor her new teeth, and the doctor said “oh, that’s not supposed to look like that.” I’m not really sure how it had not been diagnosed before that. But even after they noticed it, we didn’t do anything about it, as we were doing fine. Everyone had said “oh, it’s going to be so natural, so easy” and “you’ll just figure it out as you go,” but it’s not necessarily going to be that way. But that doesn’t have to mean you are doing anything wrong. And it doesn’t mean it won’t get better with perseverance.”
