Tongue Tie

After 10 weeks of very painful nursing, Everly was diagnosed with a posterior tongue tie and a lip tie. This causes her to not be able to latch or use her tongue properly while nursing. This problem has led to some seriously damaged nipples for me! We went over to Vancouver on Feb. 13th to get the tongue tie and lip tie lasered by Dr. Chan. It was a long, stressful day but we all got through it. It was heartbreaking to hear her cries during the procedure and to see her in so much pain afterwards. Hopefully, getting it done, will lead to healing for me, better nursing for her and no speech or teeth problems in the future!
