A little snip...


When Shelby was born, she was born with the ligament underneath her tongue too close to the tip of her tongue and it was also too short. Because of this, she couldn't stick out her tongue and when she breastfed, she had to use a lot of suction. We took her to the doctor to have them snip the ligament and make it easier for her to eat and also to allow her to play reed instruments when she's older. It was a simple procedure and relatively painless for her. They numbed it before hand with a numbing paste and then they just snipped it. Barely any blood and it'll heal very quickly.
