Can anyone please talk to me about posterior tongue tie and formula feeding? DS is 11 weeks old and has had feeding problems since birth. Initially he found it difficult to suck, seemed unable to latch onto the bottle and was nearly readmitted due to losing 12.5% of his birth weight. He eventually started feeding better and putting on weight but then started becoming upset and bringing up large quantities of milk. His suction is still poor and it takes him at least 30 minutes to drink a bottle. He's also unable to hold a dummy in his mouth. We've had a number of GP and hospital visits and his milk was changed to Nutramigen and then Neocate. Things did improve for a while but seem to have reverted back again. He has also tried infant gaviscon which made him sick and has now been prescribed Ranitidine which I'm waiting on from the chemist.
Could this be due to an undiagnosed, posterior tongue tie? Most of the imformation on the internet is devoted to tongue ties and breastfeeding, I'm unsure as to whether it applies to formula feeding too.
