I have to apologize in advance for requesting information for a personal situation. My sister had a beautiful home birth yesterday at 5:55 and her son is tongue-tied. He wanted to nurse all night long and now her nipples are raw. While he sucked on my finger, I could feel his tongue rubbing back and forth over his gumline. I am not familiar with this area to call an LC or someone who can truly evaluate his suck. The birth assistant looked at it after I pointed out the short frenulum but she said it should stretch. She lives just north of Frederick MD. If anyone is local can you email me at [log in to unmask] Thanks in advance.
