I said I'm sorry. I've made mistakes, but fear was never one of them.

Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind.  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

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.

Hey. New board.

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.

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.

He was like, licking it or something, and it slipped.

It's so totally something Kevin Smith should have come up with.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I agree with Gris and AmyLiz. Susan, you are a good mom--never doubt that! It's fine to look into alternatives. I do suggest you falso need to get info from LOTS of other moms. As you say, you don't have a lot of kid experience, and it would be good for you to know whether you need to worry. I know one brother talked very late (he had just turned three) and my mother says if that had happened with me, her first, she would have been very upset, but by the time he came along she had two other kids and experience with lots more, so she knew he was fine. Other moms night have good suggestions for teasing speech out of Anabelle, too.
