Could the tight
>labial frenulum be the sole cause of his feeding problem?

I've had a couple of babies with tight labial frenula (upper lip) who did
as you are describing. Babies grew fine, but Moms were reluctant to feed
them in public because heads turned. They were realy slurpers.

We explored resolving the problem but it isn't as simple as the lingual
frenulum clipping. It could have been done but mothers decided to just let go.
