While time is taken to fully discuss the expectations of healing in your baby at the time of division, it is reassuring for some parents to have their baby checked in person following a tongue tie division


These optional 20 minute appointments are provided in clinic to review wound, healing and progression of exercises


You are welcome to book in as many times as you wish


These appointments are short and therefore not suitable for those requiring ongoing feeding support. If you need to spend time with supported feeding please book a follow up appointment
