Lip and Tongue tie support

Does my son look like he could have some sort of tongue tie?

He’s so distressed in between feeds, like he’s got reflux or wind. We’ve noticed he’s moving his tongue around pushing it forward but it doesn’t seem to poke out of his mouth. He looks uncomfortable and cries after. His latch has always been okay I thought, but my nipple does have a lipstick shape after most feeds. Not sure if it’s an avenue I need to explore.

My second son had his tongue tie division today at 5 weeks old. Before the division he couldn’t latch on the breast at all so I’ve been using shields up until now. Now that he’s had the division I’m trying to latch him onto the breast first and then switch to the shield if he gets too agitated. Sometimes he latches (not deeply although it’s not painful so I’m thinking this is progress?) and sometimes he doesn’t. I have noticed some progress since having the division. For example he can now keep a dummy in his mouth whereas before it would take many failed attempts and also he can stick his tongue out further now.

My first son didn’t have tongue tie, he used nipple shields for 19 weeks and then was able to feed directly from the breast for 2.5 years.

I’m just wondering what you all experienced in terms of latch directly to the breast after a division? I’m also wondering if he’ll latch a lot better as he gets older like my first son did?

Need some reassurance. I had my LG tongue tie divided today and she now won't take to the boob at all, has anyone had experience of this. Please tell me they eventually relatch.

Feel like I've done the wrong thing

My surgeon said it was one of the most severe cases of tongue tie he had ever seen and he was shocked no one had ever caught it. He was shocked that I was able to speak so plainly. I went to him because I had been diagnosed with sleep apnea. After my surgery my sleep apnea was gone.

My 5 week old had his posterior TT released 3 weeks ago. I’m not in pain BF and he is gaining weight but still ‘clicks’ at the breast and won’t get a deep latch no matter how hard I try to get one. Any advice?
