My grandson was born with a tongue tie. He was not being breastfeed, and did not have difficulty having bottles. When he started to wean, My daughter in law spoke to the Health visitor and the GP about having the tie cut. They both advised unless he lost weight they would not refer and there was actually no provision in NHS GGC for this service. We feel the lack of advice since birth was based on the fact the baby was not breastfed, surely every parent has a choice to be asked do they want the baby referred. She has had a lack of advice from his birth and by staff at primary care level which is disappointing. I phoned the children's hospital in February and I was advised that there is no service in Glasgow. I notice from another care opinion story that the Lead Nurse mentions a possible change in the delivery of service. My grandson is now 11 months and my daughter in law would like to be referred (when available due to Covid) however no one knows how to or where to refer to. I would be grateful if someone can give clear information if this service is available in Glasgow.
