Lip tie?

looks like a lip tie to me my son had a severe lip and tongue tie

I agree with Alexandra it looks like a lip tie to me as well. My daughter had lip & tongue tie we had released and she’s done much better breastfeeding. We were told it’s better to have the procedure done sooner than later if that’s something you’re considering

I’m just surprised my lactation consultant didn’t notice it? I mean I may be wrong but I was and still am having issues.

where did you have it released?

My LC wasn’t the one to point it out to us! It was the hospital before we were discharged, we were having issues BFing and when she wasn’t opening her mouth as babies should when latched or able to stick out or move her tongue much the nurses recommended looking into it. We booked ours through the dentist, not all offer tongue and lip tie release though. You could ask your LC if they know of where to get this done or you could try calling the maternity ward and see if they can provide a list of places in your area? We were sent home with a list of places and we called around until we got a booking. They will give baby a little examination before doing the procedure at the dental office to see if it is actually necessary.

Definitely looks like a lip tie. My baby girl had one as well. We went to a dentist and they use a lazer to cut it. If there are any dentists in your area that offer that service I would book a consultation! It really helped me with breastfeeding once the tie was cut. Good luck 💕

thank you!
