So my boy has had feeding problems from the start. Would not latch. Slow feeder. Reflux and wind. Constipation. Can't take a medium flow teat only a slow one . He can poke his tongue out but I'm still wondering if he has tongue tie. Anyone know how to tell? Here are some pics but could not see under tongue very well.

My DH has tongue tie, and he can't poke his tongue out that far.

I am clueless at physically identifying a tongue tie, but my son's went undetected for 8 weeks despite being checked by numerous health professionals, and in the end a specialist identified a severe posterior tongue tie, and it was dealt with at 9 weeks. Just shows they are so difficult to see sometimes. We had issues with his latch, reflux and wind though, as. The reflux and wind issues disappeared after his tongue tie was resolved. Perhaps contact a specialist or health visitor in your area? Best of luck.

@Lcw29 bless him, that's what my son had. Hope you can get it sorted quickly and he feels better soon. How old is he?
