Tongue tie?

Hi all,
My baby has always been a difficult bottle feeder from day one. Doctors have never taken me seriously but now I'm beginning to wonder if he has a tongue tie... any opinions?

Thank you

Emily

I am by no means an expert, but my DD who has been diagnosed with tongue tie looks very similar to your pics.
As my DD is feeding well and gaining weight they won't refer her to have it cut, but if your son is struggling with feeding I would definitely push to have it looked at.

I'm not sure if this will help, however I am tongue tied. Although your baby is a baby and I am grown, mine looks tighter.

If I put two fingers vertically between my teeth, I cannot touch the top of my mouth and just with one finger.

My dentist offered my mum if she wanted it to have mine lasered and she declined.

I've been to a private dentist for braces and was offered the same and declined.

It's not effected me at all.

Both of mine had tongue tie and they looked like your little one.
They offered to cut both of mine as they were struggling to feed.
