Tongue tie?

Does this look like tongue tie to anyone? I am contacting gp in the morning. My little girl is 7 weeks. It’s taking her around an hour and half to take a 5oz bottle as she’s falling asleep during it aswell. When she’s taking a bottle I can hear a clicking like nose when she’s sucking, milk is spilling out her mouth (having to use smallest flow teet). She seems to get unsettled during feeding aswell. Also when sleeping very noisy and snoring like sounds. When she’s also going to take bottle she makes like a chewing motion or would gag on it aswell as a dummy.

It looks like there may be a visible frenulum there but you would need a proper assessment of tongue movement to be sure as lots of babies have a visible bit of skin that does not affect them. However the symptoms you mention do sound suspicious. Clicking is more usual on bottles due to the seal around it, but the slowness and the dribbling suggest a possible issue. How's her weight gain?
