Chloe's tongue-clipping

We had Chloe's tongue clipped today. It sounds horrible...but it wasn't too bad. Chloe was tongue tied (meaning the little piece of skin connecting the tongue to the floor of the mouth went all the way to the edge). The result was Chloe not being able to stick her tongue out of her mouth. Possible complications were breastfeeding issues and the risk of a possible speech impediment in the future. Rich and I decided to have it taken care of now. It was a simple procedure- Chloe cried for less than a minute. The doctor simply snipped that skin under the tongue to allow for more mobility. Our little girl must have her Mommy's tolerance for pain, she was happy again in no time!!!
