To ask why lip tie isn't taken seriously on the NHS

[fluffandnonsense]

I think my daughter has a lip tie but trying to find someone to diagnose it and treat it is like pulling teeth. Apparently the NHS don't see it as a problem but they clearly haven't experienced the hell that is feeding a newborn with a lip tie. Her latch is shallow and makes me really sore :(

It looks like I'm going to have to fork out £250 and travel 2 hours away to get the help I need.

Has anyone else managed to get it treated on the NHS? Also what were the symptoms and did having it cut help?

I forgot to add that in terms of symptoms, it didn't seem to present any problem to her and if anything, I sometimes wish I'd left it in as the volume of her crying increased after (joking)!
