Susan, you're not a bad mom at all. You know that. It's okay to wonder and worry -- I know I do about my kids from time to time, even the 14-year-old. Maybe especially the 14-year-old. Parenting is tough, because kids don't come with their own instruction manual.
And I gotta say, Aimee, I agree with Gris on this. Susan and you may have different parenting and posting styles, but I know Susan loves Annabel every bit as much as you love Em, and right now she's worried about Annabel's speech. And I think worries like that are natural from time to time for someone who's doing this the first time around.
AmyLiz, I appreciate your sayng so. I have no doubt Susan loves Annabel and wants the best for her.
But you are talking about pre-emptive PLASTIC SURGERY on an 18 month old.
It's not plastic surgery. It's a quick procedure that's routinely performed on infants so that they can eat. Had it been more severe, it probably would have been done as a matter of course when she was still a newborn.
(Yes, I do spend a lot of time lurking at breastfeeding forums.)

Yes, Joe had it done when he was a newborn.
What is a tongue-tie? The membrane under the tongue is too big?

That dude from Kiss did it to himself with a peanut butter knife! By accident!
Or, umm, so I seem to recall from the Playboy interview with his woman.
Aimée, your comments read like lecturing and accusation, not discussion, neither of which I think are justified, at least based on anything I've ever seen posted on this board.
A peanut butter knife?
A PEANUT BUTTER KNIFE?????
Oh good Lord. Fucking OW.
What is a tongue-tie? The membrane under the tongue is too big?
Basically. It keeps the tongue from fully extending, and can lead to problems breastfeeding and, occasionally, speaking.
Cut it all the way, and as mentioned, you can be a rock star.
A PEANUT BUTTER KNIFE?????
He was like, licking it or something, and it slipped.
It's so totally something Kevin Smith should have come up with.
