Eli was a major spitter since birth and I even posted on here recently about how he was still spitting up all of the time. He was born with a tongue tie and we had it clipped when he was a newborn but they just weren’t able to clip it very well due the severity of it. So a couple of weeks ago Eli was put to sleep and they clipped his tongue (and upper lip). Since then he hardly ever spits up! Apparently with his tongue tie he swallowed lots of air when he ate is what we were told. Another thing that I noticed is that he drools all of the time and he never used to drool at all. I just thought I would share this just in case it could cause another baby issues. We think Isaac may have a tongue tie too

Hi Sarah,

I am so glad you got things fixed for Eli! YAY!! Maybe this post will help someone else too. It’s amazing all of the things that can cause reflux.

I am very happy to share this with you all! I know with Isaac how much we struggle and to be able to fix Eli with a tongue clipping is amazing

Interesting reading this. My son Keemy was born with a tongue tie I guess. We were told it was okay and did not need to be clipped. But since birth he has been a mess with reflux and intolerance to protein in milk and soy. While the intolerance would not be affected by the tongue I wonder if his tongue is causing some issues with the reflux. I will have to talk with the GI about this on Thursday. Thanks for planting another seed in my mind. Every idea helps.
