Is this normal?

Question

FTM here... is this a lip tie or something similar..? I have no clue what I’d be looking for...

Answer

In the UK a lip tie isn't a thing. As they get older the dentist might do something but probably not. It has been proven that even bad lip ties don't affect feeding other than the top lip might not flare out but it wouldn't stop them getting milk... My breastfeeding and tongue tie special and gp both say a lip tie is an over diagnosed US thing 😂

Answer

Looks like a lip tie to me. My son has one too. It doesn’t effect his sucking ability though so I’m not worried about it unless it effects his speech.
This is my sons:

Answer

Ya looks like it. My 8 year old has a really bad one and I never knew until the dentist mentioned it might become a problem (few years ago). My baby has one too now so I’m not going to worry about it for now

Answer

Our son also has one. It SUCKED breastfeeding, because it was so painful, but he had no issues gaining weight, etc. Now that he is bottle fed, it doesn’t really affect him.
