A video circulating rapidly on social media shows the moment a 2-month-old baby undergoes a tongue-tie release procedure, known medically as a frenulotomy. In the footage, the doctor can be seen using specialized instruments to lift the baby’s tongue and cut the tissue underneath that prevents normal movement.
According to the description, the procedure was performed by Dr. Bao and lasted only a few seconds — enough to spark emotional and curious reactions from thousands of viewers online.
Parents usually opt for this treatment when the baby experiences feeding difficulties, while doctors emphasize that frenulotomy is quick, safe, and immediately improves breastfeeding.
The video has ignited widespread debate, with some users supporting the intervention and others expressing shock at the procedure.
