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.

So it's not possible to tell from a photo whether or not there's any oral function restriction, you'd need an assessment by someone qualified. Not sure what country you're in but I'm in the UK and used the association of tongue tie practitioners website to find someone local to me who could assess, diagnose, and snip the tie
