Did you not become a lip tie fixed?

What happens if yous don't get an upper lip tie fixed? Has anyone on hither had a kid with ane and didn't become it clipped?

My girl hasn't been diagnosed with one, merely her frenulum looks kind of similar pictures I've seen of lip ties. At x days she hadn't gained whatsoever weight back, only so a week later she had gained v oz, then a week after that she gained half dozen oz in a week. She's 7 weeks old now and hasn't been weighed since that last time, simply I call up she'south gaining weight. She'southward definitely growing out of clothes and nosotros had to motion up a size in diapers as well as simply looking generally chunkier. She has happy alert times and plenty of wet diapers. All that to say, I think she is nursing well enough. She cluster feeds for anywhere from iv-half-dozen hours at night, only during the twenty-four hours she nurses and seems content, and wakes upward several times during the night to nurse and then falls right back to sleep. I don't think she acts similar she's not getting plenty milk.

When she nurses and my let downwardly occurs, she starts making a smacking sound. I know smacking tin be a sign of tongue necktie, but it can besides exist fast letdown, right? I don't take sore nipples, but I do worry that maybe her latch is shallow. I don't get the new lipstick shape, but my nipple does expect kind of compressed subsequently nursing. Similar elongated kind of and sometimes a crease downwards the sides.

If it'south non a trouble, should you get a lip tie fixed? Can babies outgrow a shallow latch? I've tried googling this stuff, and simply haven't found much on it. I tried to take a picture of her lip, but she was fussing and I could only get this weird angle. The frenulum comes downward to about the center of her gums, and so she's got that little bump in the center, simply it doesn't seem to exist attached to her frenulum, just a bump in the gums.
