Julie Collier had to pay for private treatment to help her daughter after struggling to access support via the NHS
Julie Collier’s daughter Elana’s wellbeing has improved significantly since she paid for private healthcare to address the now one-year-old’s tongue-tie complications A mother whose newborn baby cried in pain for 12 hours each day due to being tongue-tied is calling for improved support for the condition on the NHS after she was left with no other choice but to pay for private paediatric care.
“Unfortunately they did not and don’t advise post division exercises, by their own admission, due to the lack of support for these exercises.” Carmelle Gentle, founder of the Tongue Tie Centre, said proper follow-up support for families is needed She said a more standardised training approach to tongue-tie treatment and a more joined-up feeding service starting as early as antenatal care is required.
“I’ve gone to a private paediatrician and her view was that she is, essentially, that she needs a feeding clinic.
