Andrew's Story - They said he didn't have tongue tie...they were wrong

www.brunswickki...
If your child has been diagnosed with an Upper Lip or Tongue Tie, Dr. Milton and Dr. Brittany recommend three important steps:
STEP 1: Professional Support Group.
Depending on the Symptoms your child exhibits, Dr. Milton and Dr. Brittany recommend that every parent gets their appropriate Support Group together BEFORE any revision takes place. That Support group may include but not limited to a Lactation Consultant, a Craniosacral Therapist, a Speech Therapist or a Chiropractor.
STEP 2: State of the Art Laser Treatment.
There are many ways to revise a tongue-tie and a lip-tie, including cautery, scissors and scalpel, but the safest, least invasive and most effective treatment is the Laser.
Our State of the Art Lasers offer:
• Excellent hemostasis (risk of bleeding significantly reduced),
• Bacteriocidal effects (little chance of any type of infection)
• Photobiomodulation effects (reduce inflammation and improve healing) and
• NO need to place infant into the OR or sedation!
The laser is a much kinder method of revision, unlike electrosurgery, which actually burns the tissue and the scalpel which cuts deeper than needed. There is little damage to adjacent tissue when using the laser, therefore healing is quicker and less post-operative discomfort occurs. In reality, the procedure is simpler and quicker than a filling, requiring no anesthesia or stitches!
STEP 3: Active Wound Management.
Active wound management includes the “stretching” exercises that prevent the reattachment of the tissue. This is where the participation of you, the parent, is vital for the success of the treatment, along with all necessary follow-up from the Support Group assembled in step 1. Without proper follow-up, even the best revision may reattach, leading to recurrence of symptoms and the need for further treatment.

This made me cry! So glad you got help! So many Drs know nothing about this!

[@daveydmur]

I'm crying watching this. My son is going in tomorrow to get checked for this. It is torture as his father to watch what this is doing to him and my wife. I'm praying for a diagnosis and the surgery. Wish us luck.

[@MissLissetteG]

What kind of pain does this cause? My baby might have it and he’s 12 months now. My instincts have told me he may have it but I was told “he doesn’t”. He’s always been under 20% for weight.

[@jbnaturalsskincare]

This made me cry. I can SO RELATE to this mama! My 6 month old exhibits the same symptoms and was diagnosed after a dentist visit. Our revision is scheduled for the 14th of February and I'm praying we have the same results! I know this isn't my son and he is in pain. His sleep is poor, he cries and arches his back and spits up after feedings, and he's developed eczema most likely from being improperly nourished. He scratches constantly and most of the day is spent fussing and crying 😭 We're treating the eczema and hoping when his surgery is done, it will not correct his feeding but will help his digestive tract and help heal his skin. This video has given me hope!

[@juanaviveros9127]

How is your baby doing now? Did he improve?

[@jbnaturalsskincare]

Juana Viveros He did! But we didn’t see a real improvement until he was over a year old. It’s almost like he just outgrew everything. We moved into a new house and within a few weeks, he started sleeping through the night, his skin improved and his overall health. He is now a rambunctious loving two year old and I thank God every day for his healing. I don’t know if it was maybe an allergy at the old house since he started improving after we moved or what happened but he’s healthy and growing perfectly normal now so I doubt his tongue and lip tie had anything to do with it now, since his revision was in February but his health was the same until September of that same year. Thank you for asking!

[@akeelaboomful]

Oh my ... My son has eczema too and tongue tie.... He is 7 months now.

[@christinecollins7274]

omg I'm so glad you shared your story No MATTER WHAT OTHERS SAY!! because yes your right many other mom's, parent's out there may be going through same thing & don't know what to do? I happened to be looking up lip-ties as my grandson born with down syndrome also has lip-tie w/many other things but after hearing your story OMG, IT brought me back to 15yrs ago to my youngest son sounded just what I went through with him as a baby, not that he ever was diagnosed but EVERYTHING & I MEAN EVERYTHING YOU WENT THROUGH I DID AS WELL, just makes you think & that's why I thank you for sharing your story, getting it out there to at least give hope that there is help! who wants their baby, child to be crying all the time? so happy to see your little boy is happy and cute as can be now 😊 happy you got the help needed well all have to advocate for ourselves & our children!!

[@freefrommakeup1632]

Gosh I so see myself in this... My son was undiagnosed up til 3 years old.. we now will have it released at 4 (we had to wait he was able to follow the instruction of the doctor and sit still on the chair)...3 doctors, 1 LAleche league and 1 LBCL did not see it.. although I asked directly about it as there was no other explanaition.

[@MariaGonzalez-bt3bk]

I am going thru this and I am so angry about what two hostipals put my baby thru.

[@elnedalimi590]

Omg when you explain what you went through I see my self there , I went to my family Dr. When my son was 4 mo and I ask her if my son has tough tie she told me no, my son didn't sleep since the first day he cry , he didn't have naps ,I was so tired I dint k ow what to do , now after 4 years and half his speach therapist told me that he has tough tie :( it's sad because even Dr make mistakes and since that time I don't trust Tham:(

[@benjatn3404]

My son had a tongue tie, he got operated in hospital when he born,but it seems still he has problem pronouncing some words,do u think i should check it out with specialist?

[@donsey100]

It could be that it reattached. If you don't do the exercises after it was done, it can reattach. I've seen it. Go do a Pediatric dentist in your area and have them look at it.

[@avakate7747]

Have your pediatrician look at it and if he cant give u a definite answer ask Dr for a PD reference in your area

[@silmiyazuhair5841]

May I know from which state are you ? I am from the otherwise of the globe but would really like to contact the doctor ,who's number you have shared in this video .will he answer calls directly or should we go through a channelling.The baby am talking has been fed by a tube for the past 4 months since she was born . After many tests and contacting doctors they haven't diagnosed exactly what's causing it ..I accidently happen to see this video. Pl can you tell me how to proceed to get help from the doctor regarding my grandchild.

[@sweetheart121188]

Can you explain to me why he was crying and it caused him pain I feel that my son has upper lip tie and maybe the tongue tied and I've been told he doesn't

[@Tameka_White]

Many times from air taken in while nursing. The lips and tongue provide a seal. Tongue and lip ties prevent proper seal and allow babies to swallow air. Many times babes are then diagnosed with reflux or colic, when in reality it’s just ties/tethers

[@57IAM]

Sue every doctor!

[@primalairomt6542]

This is a GREAT video!!

[@ЛюдмилаКрахмалец]

АНГЕЛОЧЕК❤❤❤❤

[@TheKnallkorper]

This is my son. But I know he had a tongue tie at birth. I thought it was a hoax but we are going to try to get this fixed because he is a very unhappy baby

[@fetykapor]

Is it true that when ur tongue tied you can't speak properly?

[@23respectme]

I don't get it. What was making this little boy crie? Does a tongue tie hurt?

[@HarrietBeaumont]

I am tongue tied. No. I don't get this either :P

[@brunswickkidds]

No, tongue ties don't hurt, but the inability to feed properly was introducing a lot of air in his stomach. "Aerophagia" is one of the reasons for the abdominal pain and discomfort in Andrew's story.

[@infernoraps6679]

No I'm tongue tied

[@avakate7747]

23respectme No, he's a preemie do he's just not getting enough milk to sustain him so baby is very unsettled he's growing but he's not getting enough milk to satisfy him and his needs so it makes him a miserable frustrated little man. ☹️

[@adriennearman3499]

Exact same with my baby rn from all the air

[@ginadillon2072]

What really amazes me is that this was never heard of 30 years ago? Now, it seems every baby has tongue tie? What is the real story here?

[@brunswickkidds]

The real story, Gina, is that traditionally tongue ties were only associated with speech problems, so for years they were treated much later in life (or never at all). The last 10 years or so, moms have decided to be more proactive, escpecially with breastfeeding, and as a result we are seeing a lot more babies for an evaluation, and harldy ever see an older child or adult with untreated restriction. Your are right, though: only around 10% of babies are affected. (but those tend to be the stories you see on the Internet).

[@diandracracchiolo3690]

Maybe the MTHFR gene is more common now?

[@glendat9354]

I asked a Doula and she said midwife back then would do the procedure with a long pinky nail and clip it that way when baby was 1st born so they can nurse

[@monicamissouri7390]

More women breastfeeding

[@ashleystanbra8559]

My son was dognosed at birth the midwife pointed it put straight away but we did see his tounge looked strange like a snake. Anyway I didn't waste any time I asked them to book him in for a division .. there was a waiting list and a hiccup but he's going tomorrow and he's 10week, unfortunately due to not gaining weight I stopped BF and went to fully formula bottle fed and he's still same falls sleep during feeds not drinking enough and waking every 1 to 2hrs ... won't suck a dummy.. clingy... short naps in the day... etc... can't eat for it to be done. Hes 10week old

[@olanmagracie1648]

Same here my girl is 10 weeks tongue tied and not gaining weight. The worse is that she still maintain her birth weight 😭

[@ashleystanbra8559]

@@olanmagracie1648 same here! He dropped only 3% but by two days went ablive birth weight. Hes had it done a week now the tie and he's so much better he eats more sleeps so much better and gaining weight faster, seems much happier too! Still don't like a dummy lol but I'm ok with that.

Is Frenulotomy same as laser??

[@100FoldFarm]

A frenulotomy is when the frenulum (in this case a lingual frenulum or tongue frenulum) is cut to create freedom of movement for the tongue. The way is it cut doesn't change the name of the basic procedure. Some kids have gone under anesthesia and had it cut with surgical scissors and some have gone to the Dentist who uses the latest and greatest technology (so far) to almost painlessly release the frenulum of the tongue by "cutting" it with laser. So, as long as the frenulum is being released...it is a frenulotomy....no matter what way it is being accomplished! Hope this helps! I used to assist with surgical ones. I am so glad the in office laser technique is a reliable option!
