High palates almost always mean tongue issues as the tongue spreads the 
palate to be less domed. Also clicking is a sign of tongue issues. So 
this baby is probably tongue tied, maybe a posterior tongue tied.

The problem with LCs is that not all are highly skilled or know enough 
to help mothers. If this gal is an IBCLC, remember the test is entry 
level and 96% pass. I have re-done consults for clients who saw another 
IBCLC who did not recognize a tongue tie issue and I saw this problem 
the minute baby opened his mouth. Mom was supposedly told there was no 
reason baby could not latch and just rent a pump from me and pump and 
bottle feed.

Of course, we do not really know exactly what the previous LC said to 
the mothers. We are only hearing one side of the story.
