What the petition asks

Get babies who are born tongue tied cut before they are discharged from hospital
After 6 months of my baby chocking I’ve finally managed to get his tongue tie cut, consultant said he was one of the oldest he’s done !!!

Hospitals say unless it’s a problem they won’t cut babies tongue at birth, my son chocked in his feed everyday for the last 6 months and health visitor and doctors wrote to the ENT consultant to get it done. I took it upon myself to phone the ent every other day until I got an appointment.
Babies and families should not suffer like this it’s a horrible ordeal to see your baby chock to the point there eyes roll into their heads
Tongues should be cut at birth before discharged home
