Baby slipping off boob

Hi,
My baby is 8 weeks and is EBF. She had a tongue tie which was cut at 3 weeks.
It made a big difference but she still slips off the boob a lot though and sometimes clicks when feeling. She feeds well despite this and breastfeeding isn't painful, but im assuming something isn't quite right. I also have to hold my boob compressing it to get her to stay on.
Her latch looks OK (I'm no expert though) but had previously been checked, but its becoming frustrating, especially when I try to feed while out and she is constantly slipping off!
Anyone had the same/have any advice on how to overcome this - thanks!

My DS was the same, even after his tongue tie was snipped. I just persevered and I think as his mouth grew bigger it just stopped happening as he found it easier and less tiring to hang on GrinI know tongue tie can grow back though, so may be worth just getting it checked again.
