My oldest was snipped at 5 months because his eating was not good at all. He healed super fast, didn't require any kind of pain meds, and has had no problems since. He'll be 4 in March  

eta: It was done in the OR under gas. It took just a few minutes and was drinking as soon as he came out.

My son had it done when he was three, he barely even noticed it when it was all said and done. He was sore for a few days but he never really complained. All and all it was a pretty easy thing for him to go through.

The procedure takes like 10 minutes and it can be sore for a day or two, but most babies go right to nursing fine(if nursing), or straight back to the bottle.

It's just a quick snip, and should barely bleed. I had my sons done the day he was born because he was having issues latching.

My youngest had it, we got his clipped at a year old. I just didst want to take the chance of it affecting his speech. His was pretty thin and healed quickly, he was also still breastfeeding and nursed fine after

my youngest has a tongue tie and he got it clipped at 4 days old. his pediatrician did it right in the office. he put some orajel under the tongue where it was, got some snipper things and just clipped it. he didn't have any issues with it and could eat and be normal right after. the hardest thing on him was having the doctor's fingers in his mouth and having him held still by the nurse. he didn't bleed or anything though, even though the doc said he could bleed a tiny bit.

DD had it done at 3 months, she was really severely tongue tied & wasn't eating well, so we had it clipped. Our pedi did it in his office & she was good in about 10 minutes. The worst part for her was the offending fingers in the mouth.

my son had it done at like a week old. It was super fast. I took him in they did it right in the office. One quick snip a few drips of blood. He was nursing right after and that was it.

My DD's was like that and I got her's clipped at 6 days because she only gained an ounce in 4 days. She healed in 2 days, and was fine after that. We weight checked her exactly one week after her procedure and she gained 1 lb. We only got it clipped because we were breastfeeding, if she were bottle feeding we would have let it go.
