Does this look like a posterior tongue tie to you?
We are having difficulties with our baby (both feeding and mood) and wondered if she had a tongue tie contributing?
She’s very clicky on the bottle, leaks milk, takes in a lot of air and is uncomfortable - I know it’s not the clearest of pictures but any advice would help before we pay to see someone

Meant to say I’ve never been able to see her stick her whole tongue out and she’s 5 weeks old
You can't tell from a photo, you need a full assessment by a qualified professional who has the training.
From your description and the pic it definitely is a TT. Dont wait for a referral it will take weeks, if you can pay for it yourself get it done ASAP X
I had similar issues with my baby, would scream because she was getting so frustrated with her bottle, constant clicking, spitting milk etc, so I changed the teat size as her behaviour can indicate she’s ready for the next size, however it didn’t work and the flow was too quick for her. She was on MAM bottles, I changed her bottles to the Dr Brown Options + and they have been incredible and sorted the issue out! I can’t tell if your baby has a tongue tie but just wanted to give you a way that worked for us 🥰

Grieving advice
Hi ladies.. I am just looking for advice from anyone who has tried anything before as my GP hasn’t been very helpful. I’ve also reached out to the postnatal team and still waiting to hear despite chasing up.
I lost my dad when I was 35 weeks pregnant with my second daughter. She is now 4 months and while I am coping very well considering the heartache I am going through, I still feel I need to speak with a professional who may be able to help me process things better than I am currently.
Thank you x

Night feeds
Hi I need help
my 4 almost 5 month old is feeding so much at night- 4 times last night. She is combi fed, she doesn’t have many bottled tho, only 1 a day and she only had around 70mls. She feeds often in the day every 2hrs ish. I’m not sure what I can do to stretch out the feeds in the day or night. I’m so tired of waking up so often now. Last night she fed 12:00qm, 1.30am, 3.30 am and 5.30 it’s killer I try and soothe her other ways but it doesn’t work.

Daytime naps
What are we using for daytime naps for our little ones? She is currently 3 months and has been having her day time naps in pram bassinet but I don't want to do that anymore.
Upstairs she has a next to me, so just after something comfortable for her to sleep in downstairs and nicely matches the living room aesthetics 😂

Do you believe that if your child looks put together - hair done , clean face , fresh clothes etc that they get better treatment than a kid in a mismatched outfit , crazy hair and messy face
Had a debate about this with a friend

Breastfed night sleep routines
Breastfed babies who are sleeping 6+ hours at night, what are your routines? What time do you put them down? When do they wake up?

Colostrum collecting
When the time comes to start collecting colostrum in a couple weeks, how is everyone doing it??? All the tips and advice welcome please!
This is my second baby but with my first I couldn’t do it all! Just couldn’t work out how to do it / get it in the syringes, even though I did go on to breastfeed with a good supply. I have already started leaking a bit this pregnancy.
I have ordered some 1ml syringes but nothing else yet.
