It is bifid tongue. It can be normal.
For tongue tie, if the child is not able to put tongue outside of the mouth (ie in front of the lips) then it is likely to be a tongue tie.
Tongue tie causes difficulty in taking breast feeds and also speech gets affected
If that is the case need to be operated for better health of child
