Every child is different. Livvys grew dramatically after being born. She's now had 3 ops and it seems to b fine now :) still a little thicker but its mAinly in the mouth now.

That must have been hard, finding this out. Liv was diagnosed while in the womb so I had time to find out about bws.

Hi and welcome to the site.

My daughter's tongue grew considerably after birth. But, this was mainly in the first 6 months, so if his tongue hasn't grown much already then maybe it won't. I know the dramatic growth doesn't apply to all children (in fact, I believe its not common!)

my daughter is now 16yrs had a tongue reduction age 11 months ..at the time we was told that the tongue grows slower than the rest of her body but her tongue still stuck out the same amount 11 months later so it grew at the same rate ....her tongue is very very thick and they now want to do another reduction and also to help her speech
