Is it necessary
Is it necessary to fix tongue/lip ties? I think dd has at least a lip tie. She has the line completely down her gum. She has been good on weight gain so far. Her lips don't open wide when bfing and it is hard to get a latch, but other than that she eats well.
You don't have to if it's really not causing a problem. However it could cause a tooth gap later on if it is bad, and most babies with lip ties also have tongue ties which can make bit hard for them to swallow later on or have speech problems. Just something to look into. I did a ton of research decided, we have an appointment next week.
My baby girl had a zip tie tongue she got her fixed when she was 3 days old.
