[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tongue-tie can sometimes make it harder for babies to feed. It can affect both bottle-fed and breastfed babies. Some babies with a tongue tie breastfeed well from the start; others do so when positioning and attachment are improved. But any tongue tie that restricts normal tongue movement can lead to breastfeeding difficulties. Check out the symptoms of tongue-tie and make sure your LO doesn't have it.

OP here. We saw the ENT and he did have a tongue tie. The ENT performed a laser treatment and said he should be fine in a couple of days. We plan to see a pediatric dentist next week to ensure things are healing and everything is normal. We are still working the lactation consultant. He has so far been taking a bottle with ease and we only syringe feed 1-2 times a day now. He started taking in more food ( 3oz) at some feeds and will sometimes go 2.5-3 hours in between feedings. He is still not nursing super well but we will be working on that with the lactation consultant. [/quote]
