Looks like it to me! If you can’t flip the lip up to cover baby’s nostrils it’s probably a lip tie. We had a terrible time getting our pediatrician to do it or send a referral to get snipped which led to me having to formula feed because he wasn’t strong enough or getting a good latch to nurse. And by the time it seems like we were getting it approved, my supply had dropped significantly and now he refuses to nurse altogether! You have to Fight for it!

Look into a pediatric dentist 🤍

And do what you think is best!

Yup absolutely lip tie

Yes! My son had a lip tie that looked just like this. We had it released and had nearly immediate success with breastfeeding for the first time in months.

thank you for your advice everyone x

Baby doesn't want to be held but also won't self-soothe?

Alright, I need advice for my 6 month old. What do we do when our babies give all the sleepy ques and yet when you try to get them down for a nap nothing works?

I do a naptime song every time we are getting ready for a nap, nurse (which sometimes gets them to sleep), but when I put them down to sleep they start fussing, when I try rocking no matter what way I hold them is correct, I try just laying with them and this doesn't help either cause they just start crying.

I know they are trying to crawl right now and that makes sleep and naps super funky. I don't want to cry it out either. But omg this drives me bonkers and gets me sooo frustrated cause like idk how to help you go to sleep!😵‍💫🫠

Last question! Did anyone get Whooping cough and RSV jab on the same day?

I had to make an appointment today for both my Whopping Cough and RSV jab as I am told I am "behind" in these. So I have an appointment Thursday to have both done at the same time, has anyone else done this? I had a whooping cough jab last pregnancy, but not RSV.

Getting a haircut when exclusively breastfeeding

So I'm a new Mum and I am DESPERATE for a haircut. I was meant to get one before my baby was born but baby decided to make an early appearance. My hair is now 2 months overdue for a cut and it really shows 😭 I've been struggling with my appearance since having a baby and I feel anxious about going out. Does anyone have any tips on how to handle a hair appointment with a baby and breastfeeding?
