tongue tied

(september)

so when nolan was born his doctor noticed right away that he was tongue tied

he offered to grab some scissors and clip it right then and there!

i couldn't imagine scissors being stuffed into my brand new baby's mouth with no numbing, no nothing, so i said 'thanks but no thanks'

he nursed great but refused bottles and binks (could have been the tongue issue)

so fast forward like a year or so....

nolan just wasn't talking like he should and wasn't talking as early and clearly as griff did

so i kept waiting and waiting to see if his talking would come around and it really wasn't

so off i went to a pediatric dentist

he looked into nolan's mouth and was shocked to see the severity of his tongue tie

one of the worst he has seen!

he said the dr's office clipping wouldn't have done a thing for nolan

at the time of the pre-op appointment nolan wasn't quite 2 and pretty tiny still

so we had to give it a few months for him to gain some weight

he ended up getting the procedure done, healed super fast and now he is finally talking and starting to form sentences, yay!

he still has a long way to go but we are so happy with our decision and so glad it all went well
