Has  anyone ever heard of this?  What is the connection between this severe  
congestion and the TT.  Mom is at her wits end, and feeling very  frustrated 
that she went ahead with the second clipping.  The only  connection I can think 
of is that if the baby is not properly moving his  tongue due to pain from 
having it clipped or some sort of release from  restriction, he is not clearing 
fluids as he should, therefore causing the  congestion.

I've seen feeding related congestion any time a baby is trying to move milk  
and coordinate SSB with a tongue tie, or laryngomalacia/tracheomalacia. Often  
it's before the frenulum release, but in this case I would wonder if the 
newly  released, and not yet controllable tongue, is leading to some milk 
aerosolizing  and ending up in the sinuses. Newly released tongues can be so weak, and 
lack  stamina as well, so often things get worse as the feeding  progresses, 
initially. If the baby is older than a week or so it can take  more time. CST 
and time usually help a baby get power, coordination and  stamina.
