My son was born on October 22nd. From the very first days, we had trouble with latching. It's very painful when he latches onto my nipple, and it happens every time. Afterward, my nipple gets deformed, like a lipstick. I understand that my son can't get a proper latch on the areola. I started expressing a little milk before feeding him so my nipple would be softer, but it didn't help. I decided to check with my finger – his tongue isn't participating properly, it's not resting on his lower gum. I shone a flashlight and compared it to pictures online, and it looks like my baby has a short tongue tie. Where should we go for a consultation? Should we go straight to a pediatric dental surgeon?

Yes, we went to the dentist with public insurance, but they clipped it for 1000 rubles right away.

Svetlana It's hard to get a dentist appointment through public insurance here because the waitlist is so long. Plus, we don't have public insurance yet. I'll go to a private one. I can't suffer like this anymore.

Svetlana Ask the local moms on the forum. I think you also have a dentist covered by public health insurance who will do it like that. I think it cost about ~2k rubles to have my daughter's done privately.

The surgeon at the clinic performed a frenectomy.

Go to your dentist first, they will tell you everything. My younger one had it clipped at one month old. The pediatrician gave us a referral to all doctors, including the dentist, and they immediately said it needed to be clipped. They had specific days for these procedures.

Both of my daughters had their frenulum clipped for free at the dentist. We were told to come very early in the morning to be first in line, and the surgeon would do it then. It's quick.
My older daughter had it done at 10 months, and my younger one was only 2 weeks old.

We went to the pediatric dentist's office, to the surgeon's room. We waited in the walk-in line (though they let us go ahead in the end)
