Does this look like a lip tie ?

Question

Couldn’t get her to stay still to get a good photo. She’s 6 weeks old.

Answer

Yep! Looks like my son’s. His pediatrician said that as long as it interfering with his eating (it isn’t) then it shouldn’t be an issue until he starts getting his adult teeth. She said that if he still has it at that point we could consider cutting it (laser is how they do it I believe) but that a lot of times once kids start walking they’ll fall and “pop” it and that it heals better when done that way. So basically I’m just waiting for him to fall on his face 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

Answer

That looks like my sons but I didnt get it fixed because it didnt interfere with anything. He had a gap when his first top teeth came in, but he has fallen a lot and I think its broken lol plus his other top teeth have come in and pushed them together. I know it sound scary to think they fall and break it, but it's not as brutal as you think. Once they are walking they fall a lot lol
