Suck blisters on 6 month olds lips

Hi mums, hoping for some advice. My 6 month old has always had a blister on her top lip from sucking but in the last month I’ve noticed blisters on the sides too (as shown in pics). They don’t seem to bother her but feel dry when I touch them. I’ve seen many posts about newborn lip blisters but not at 6 months so unsure what to do.

We got assessed for tongue tie when she was younger and got told she had a posterior tongue tie and mild lip tie by one lactation consultant but got told by another that she was fine (an ENT doc also said that her tie wasn’t severe enough to snip or laser). Her breastfeeding got better as she got bigger and she’s also approx 50% bottle fed. We’ve just started solids too.

Should I be worried? Would having constant blister for this long damage her lips? We went back and forth about getting the tongue tie done when she was younger but the practitioners we saw all seemed a bit on the fence about how necessary it was?! Thanks so much in advance xx

No idea in the blisters sorry but if it's possible to get at least the lip tie divided I would do it. I didn't understand why my DC1 was so unsettled until I joined MN and realised he had lip tie.

We had years of disturbed sleep, trouble with weaning and then needing SLT.

My DD still has the one in the top middle and she's nearly 6 months too, none at the sides but I just imagine it will go in it's own time, probably when she doesn't have as many bottles
