Anyone else's baby have a tongue tie & high palate?

[Chris1989]

I've got a 14 week old baby boy and I'm a bit concerned about his palate (roof of his mouth).

He was born tongue tied and still is (it hasn't been picked up by anyone but I'll be raising it with a doctor), and we've noticed the roof his mouth is a bit unusually high - I'll put a picture below.

I don't think it's causing him any problems, he's bottle fed and drinks fairly well (I did think it was a bit less than it should be but he's gaining weight and has lots of wet/dirty nappies), and he's very happy in himself. Just wondering if anyone has had a baby with the same problem?

Thanks 😊

Hello, very old thred but my daughter has a high palate (discovered by health nurse) and I am awaiting to see a doctor. As your baby, feeds well, gaining weight, happy. No tounge tie and the palate is not arched. Have you found any speech problems or are there any concerns about your child’s palate? Can’t find much on the web when the palate is high but not arched

@Chris1989 how is your baby getting on?

Hi both :) sorry for not getting back to you earlier dpkm325

We ended up having his tongue tie cut in
April 2016 - he did still have a speech delay but he has autism so that's why. Other than that he's now a perfectly healthy 7 year old :)

My subsequent 2 boys also had tongue ties - my 2nd had his cut too and had no speech delay, but my 3rd (who’s nearly 2) has not - we wanted to but with the delays from COVID by the time he could have it done he’d need a general anaethestic and we didn’t want to do.

He has a speech delay but he can poke his tongue all the way out so I’m really not sure if it’s caused by his tongue tie (I don’t think so!). But if you could get it done without needing a general anaesthetic I would do it
