Lip tie?

I’m BF and sometimes baby can be fussy at the breast, HV said he didn’t have one but I’m second guessing. Could it be a lip tie?

It’s definitely a lip tie, but they don’t do anything about them, as they shouldn’t affect their latch etc. Both my boys have them, they are only concerned if it’s a tongue tie, and sometimes aren’t fussed unless they have a problem with feeding etc

@Chloe thank you, should I be concerned if he is fussing sometimes when feeding? I’m not sure if it’s because of my fast flow. He definitely doesn’t have a tongue tie

I think it depends on the severity of the fussing, what is he like? How often? I think it’s normal to an extent, they’re still little and getting used to lots of things. I think it depends x

@Chloe not ever feed maybe 2/3 times a day. Part of me thinks he just gets frustrated with himself but I also don’t want to just dismiss it x

Does it last long? It’s really hard to know.. with my little one i couldn’t ignore it, it was that bad. Turns out he had lip tie and a dairy allergy x

@Chloe normally the majority of the feed until he gets tired x
