Yesterday, the lactation consultant came in and was assessing us for the trillionth time and she noticed that Amelia was tongue tied. Being tongue tied can cause all kinds of problems latching, eating, talking, even kissing! We got an ENT consult for them to assess the degree of tongue tied-ness and they said that she had "quite a bit of ankyloglossia and they recommend cutting it." of course I consented and it was done at the bedside. She fell asleep in my arms and that is where she is now.
Hopefully she won't gets tired now while eating (one pamphlet made the comparison of trying to eat a bowl of soup with a baby spoon...that is what it is like to be tongue tied) and can latch longer and eat more.
On another positive note, Amelia is now 1830 grams!
