Kroger. The Kroger I usually go to doesn't carry them (Harper's Point), but I got these at the one in Landon.

In that car seat pic LO looked a lot like big brother becole. Did you get pics of the two together today or just solo of the newb?

[JoBub]

Discovered this space heater in my room today. I'm such a rebel. I just have to hide it when the custodians come in to sweep. LOL

It was everyone together plus newborn pics. It was insane trying to get everyone ready.

[becole]

We had the toungue and lip
Tie cut. It was a pretty seamless process. Little shot of numbing stuff then some scissors ten minutes later. Baby was nursing right after and oh man the difference. He was actually getting a wide fish latch just on his own. And it's the first time that boob actually felt drained afterward. I just need to remember these stretches.

[becole]

Oh and I really like that doctor. He's young and the nicest person ever. Literally the nicest most normal doctor.

Great news! Glad your boobs are getting some relief!

So glad it went well and you can already see the difference.

[mrscatfarmer13]

That's great! So he doesn't use laser? Did he seem really knowledgeable of bf'ing and tongue/lip ties? I'm glad you saw an immediate improvement in latch!

[babylove518]

Definitely remember the stretches! I think that's what makes all the difference in keeping it cut well. I'm so glad he has a better latch now! becole

No he used scissors. He seemed really knowledgeable. He said he could see where a doc would miss the posterior tie but he agreed with the LC that his toungue didn't stretch to the roof of his mouth (he tried it) and cut it. He said neither looked like the worst tie he's seen, but he knows how important BF is for mom and baby and seemed to really understand the discomfort I would be feeling and why it's important to cut. He also mentioned how ties can shorten the BF relationship. He was seriously so nice. He came in after while I was nursing and asked how it felt and if it was different and told me to stay and nurse as long as I wanted and there was ice in case I felt nervous and wanted to put ice on it. He also welcomed me to call. And he was like "you did good mom" as far as it being worse on mom than baby.

becole so glad it went well and now it's behind you I hope nursing goes great from here on. Remind me, which doc/dentist did you end up going with?

Also where is this cute pic im hearing about?

[lindsay]

Today I feel like I should get a gold star for surviving a workday in the office. Granted I feel like I've been hit by a truck now.

I went to Dr. schwetzenau in Kenwood. He's an ENT. We shall see over the next week if he did a good job. I'm going to try the clinic at Blue Cocoon too. Might not make it this week but will try.

If you happen to make it on Monday I'll meet you there after your appt. Or I can go early and watch C & A play while you're at the clinic.
