- A baby with a tongue tie may be able to stick out his tongue.
- Tongue and lip ties can affect a baby's ability to breastfeed.
- Babies who are tongue tied are often not able to drink well from a bottle or take a pacifier.
- Older tongue-tied babies may have difficulty in swallowing solid food. Their tongues may not be mobile enough to move the food to the back of their mouths.
- A mother whose baby is tongue tied may start out with plenty of milk, but the lack of adequate stimulation to her breasts can result in a decrease of her milk production. This, of course, can lead to poor weight gain in the baby.
