A mum who says she suffered from “24/7 pain” while trying to breastfeed her baby who was tongue tied has spoken of her difficulty getting her daughter diagnosed.
Clare Sinton, a Bristol mum-of-two, has described breastfeeding her baby Lily as being an “excruciatingly painful” experience that felt “wrong from the get-go”.
Tongue tie, or ankyloglossia, means the strip of skin connecting the tongue and the floor of the mouth is unusually short or tight, affects around 10 per cent of newborn babies in the UK.
