Anyone have a lip tie?
I just discovered last week that DD's lip is tied. My Pedi brushed it off like it wasn't a big deal and there wasn't anything we needed to do about it but I'm not so sure. Based on what I've read it can interfere with speech development and really impact the adult teeth when they come in.
DD doesn't have any limited movement (smiles etc) and has no trouble eating. I know it's not an 'emergency' but I was thinking I'd like to have it fixed sooner than later so I was surprised by my Dr's reaction.
Next step is the dentist and we'll see what they have to say.
Anyone else have a baby with a lip tie? What are your plans to deal with it?

Both of my kids had lip and tongue ties. I was able to detect Declan's early on and both were corrected when he was just a few months old. It was bc of finding his that I went routing around in my daughter's mouth. She had already bee
Thank you all for your feedback! I'm so glad to hear DD isn't the only one and I'm VERY grateful to hear there are some adults who have experienced this too! The few people I have asked IRL about it have never heard of it and have gasped like this was
