TOM FLETCHER

INFANTTS came about following my youngest daughter’s tongue-tie division. My wife struggled to breastfeed our first two children, with both latching poorly and both suffering from reflux. When Bella arrived, she too struggled to latch and had poor weight gain. Having sought some breastfeeding support, Bella was diagnosed with tongue-tie and referred to hospital. After 6 stressful weeks Bella had a tongue-tie division. The change in Bella’s feeding was instant. Her latch improved and she soon started to put on weight. The guidance, advice and support my wife received post tongue-tie division was also hugely beneficial to both Bella and my wife. As a dad of three and knowing the stress and anxiety caused, of having a baby who does not feed well, I am passionate that this service should be readily available and accessible option to those who need it!
