My firstborn was a girl and she had severe tongue tie. On day 3 of her life, we went to an oral surgeon to get it corrected. Once we got into the room, which looked like any pediatrician room, the oral surgeon came in and asked for final approval. Once we approved, he took her, turned 180, brought her over to an examination table, opened a brand new knife out, opened her mouth, and just cut the tie! No creams, no shots, nothing. I was thinking what the fuck just happened. Our baby didnt even wake up, didnt cry, there was no blood in her mouth, and it was all over.

I later found out for tongue tie, if you do it later than a week or so after the babys life, its a lot more involved. This experience is making me believe the OBGYNs statement that there is no pain for a brand-new newborn.
