Tongue/ Lip/ Cheek (Oral Ties) Revision Success Stories

Looking at getting my 6 week olds oral ties released. She has 3… a posterior tongue tie, a very tight lip tie, and possible cheek tie.

The reason I’m pursuing is the terrible gas and digestive issues she’s been having despite everything I’ve tried (probiotics, gas drops, etc.). We’ve also been in reflux meds for 2 weeks but I can’t really say they’ve made a huge difference. The gas builds up throughout the day and she’s really plagued by it at night.

I’ve also considered a dairy allergy but her only symptoms are bad gas pains, constipated (but she’s also breastfed so less poops?), and congestion/ silent reflux. She doesn’t have vomiting or bloody stool. The congestion could be related to reflux and small airways.

Before getting tested for an allergy or making a big diet change I would like to address function first since the pediatrician acts like her being intolerant to dairy is very unlikely.

Did getting oral ties release help your baby with gas and/or reflux? Did they sleep better? My 6 week old currently does not sleep at night until 3:00am due to being woken up by gas… I’m struggling.
