Clicking noise when feeding

My baby is 5 weeks and she has started clicking at the bottle when feeding? I have read that it could be tongue tie but I don’t think it is as she’s never done this before? We have also recently gone from a 0 teat to and 1 teat so we don’t think it’s because of that either. Has anyone else experienced this?

My girl occasionally clicks when feeding, she's breastfed and I thought it was poor latch but the latch feels fine and she definitely doesn't have tongue tie either so no idea what it actually is 🥲

Mine does this too after going from 0-1 teats on the bottle.. thought he’d stop when getting used to it but it’s still carrying on 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

@Chloe she could have a high pallet. My boy has a slight tongue tie and a high pallet. Even if they cut his tounge tie they told me he would still click and his pallet is high and narrow meaning the nipple doesn’t fill the space even with a good latch. There will always be an air pocket which causes gas and click noises. You should be able to tell just by looking in her mouth x

@Chloe my breastfed baby does it as well and I've wondered why but exactly like you his latch is perfect, I'm not sure if it's when his mouth gets to wet and slips off the nipple
