My Son Is Tongue Tied And Can't Latch On.

My son was born with a tongue tie. His surgery isn't for another 4 days, and we're having a hard time with breastfeeding. I really want him to breastfeed, but he can't latch on very well and I'm afraid he's not getting enough to eat. Is there anything I can do to help him nurse until he gets his tongue fixed?
