Dr. Gigi Tadros I Baby Tongue tie Expert on Instagram: "Have you ever seen these bumps on your baby's lips after a feed? These are lip blisters and they are one of the many signs that can indicate oral restrictions. When a baby needs to remain latched, but has a restricted tongue, the lips have to compensate. The lips become the primary seal to get the milk they need. The lips are basically holding on for dear life and that's why these blisters form. You may see one large one in the middle of the upper lip, or many small ones, that turned white right after a feed.**It is a sign that the tongue is not functioning well.**Along with other signs, it can help give clues that something is not working quite right.Other signs can include:✅ painful nursing or damaged nipples✅ misshaped lipstick nipples after a feed ✅ frustration at the breast✅ clicking sounds✅ sensitive gag reflex✅ poor weight gain✅ low lying tongue✅ gassiness✅ spit-up or reflux-type symptoms✅ recessed chin✅ high palate✅ recurring clogged ducts/mastitis ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀If any of these symptoms sound familiar, please find a provider who is trained in tongue ties.
