Sorry I'm going to rant about the national health system. So my baby was apparently checked for tongue tie by the hospital & then again by every midwife visit and health visitor check. I eventually got him diagnosed by a lactation specialist... A thing I had to go out and do myself! So I ask to get a referral to get it divided. Just got a call from the breast feeding consultant to say that the lady who cuts the tongue from ages 6-12 weeks is on holiday but the lady who cuts 0-6 weeks is there. Can't go to her though for some reason. The lady who is on holiday won't be back until December by then Max will be 13 weeks old & apparently they do not cut past that age! She's referred me to Kings hospital in London which is an hour trip there for a 2 second procedure... Now they are saying he can't be seen until 4-6 weeks but by then he will be too old!

My poor baby can't feed properly because of his tie yet the nhs service think it's fine to let him wait/ potentially not do it at all! The only other option is to go private which costs over £200... I only get paid £500 a month maternity! I'm on the verge of suing the hospital for compensation! Gah! Sorry ladies for the rant! 😡
