Hi, I was wondering if anyone had any experience of the tongue tie clinic at St Thomas's? Recently attended the one at King's, but was put off by the description of the procedure and, specifically, the post-procedure wound management they advise. I gather Tommy's has a slightly different approach, and wondered if anyone had taken their baby for tongue tie division there? Had been hopeful we'd get by without, but still in a lot of pain breastfeeding (baby 5 weeks today)...


Many thanks for any thoughts.

Hi,

I feel your dilemma.

My daughter had her tongue tie cut at Kings in November. I wasn't taken with the medic who carried out the procedure either or his recommendations for post operative care. Have a look on YouTube, there are some examples of how to massage the wound gently and playfully, not at all like the methods suggested at kings. Also look up the research yourself, just in google. The evidence is mixed I thought and depends on the type of tongue tie your child has. In the end we didn't massage the wound with our daughter and in didn't grown back.

Good luck!

    • I'd be tempted to put up some sort of fence  to delineate the area and see what happens. Probably nothing.
    • Poundland have been there just over two years. 
    • Has anybody here bought some land from the council to become part of their garden? There are helpful guidelines on the Southwark website here including a PDF with associated costs, however the "valuation" element has absolutely no guidelines. It could be £500 or £50,000. You will already have spent £1000 on the process before finding out what they will charge you for the land - which would certainly be frustrating if it's not affordable for you. The land in question is a tiny patch immediately attached to the front of my property, approx 4 meters wide x 1 meter long. Would like to put a fence there to separate from the pavement and allow some privacy, keep the bins more tidy. The land is of no value to anybody else and is neglected currently - the council seems to have to stopped maintaining this area between the pavement and the houses on our street.
    • I suppose wind could have blown rubbish out of bins down into the pond. But I also counted three footballs and some smaller balls. Regrettably, there is also what seems to be a large dead carp or waterfowl, hard to tell at distance. I just hope the water quality is okay. I am not clear to what extent the pond is managed.
