Wanting to Clip Tongue Tied 12 Month Old

Hi Ladies, At birth my son was tongue tied, but at the time I was not familiar with the condition so didn't know how to deal with it in the hospital. He didn't (couldn't !!)nurse for over 24 hrs before a lactation specialist finally came to see us and showed me how to help him latch on. It was a very difficult and painful time, but we got through it and he has thrived this first 12 months of life. (after 2 weeks of bleeding nipples, they toughened up and didn't hurt 'as much' anymore! lol) We are still nursing and in it for another year...
