My BBB had a tongue tie which was clipped when he was 2 weeks old, or so I thought. He is now 5 weeks and I think he still has a bit of a TT, as his tongue is still slightly heart shaped and he doesn't ever stick his tongue out over his lips. He does drink a lot of milk, but has v bad reflux for which we are just starting on the journey of getting treated. The thing is I have read in places that reflux and tongue tie can be related. Is it possible to have an anterior and posterior tongue tie, and for the consultant to only cut the anterior part? Also, how would the way the baby is feeding affect reflux - which as far as I am aware is milk flowing back from the stomach?
