LIP tie?

Does this look like a lip tie?
Baby is clicking on MAM teats and differs awful Colic and Reflux.
Her discomfort is so bad doctors were suspicious of CMPA and changed her to Pepti 1
Day 2 so far.
No1 has checked her mouth but since the clicking started at 3 weeks old I checked myself.
Do doctors do anything about lip ties?
I know they cut tongue ties.

My DS had/has one of these. It looked very similar to yours when he was that age. The dentist did talk about it needing to be removed if it causes a gap between his teeth but he's 16 now and in all honesty I had completely forgotten about it until I saw your post. It hasn't been mentioned by the dentist in many years, since he had his adult front teeth, so I assume it's not an issue now.

I can't edit as I'm on the app, but he was breastfed and it wasn't causing any issues feeding, so maybe that's why they didn't deal with it at the time

They don't do anything about them the health visitor told me. But I did notice her bottom lip was getting sucked in when she was sucking on the teat, me moving her lip a little has stopped the clicking 🎉
