Lip and Tongue tie
My daughter with age 4 Months is having problem in breastfeeding, she has a very very swallow latch and she is not comfortable in bottle feeding or with spoon feeding. Even she only breastfeed when she is asleep. I am suspecting she has both lip and tongue tie as I have seen frenulum under her upper lip and she can't take her tongue out of her mouth when her mouth is open. Kindly suggest about the treatment.

Dear Mom,
Breastfeeding is an important source of nutrition for infants. Difficulty in doing that is stressful for both the parents and the infant. Kindly visit a Pedodontist and a pediatrician as they may help you overcome the difficulties associated with feeding and also intervene if necessary.
Hope this helps! Take care
