<... There is no tongue tie, and baby can get tongue past lower lip, but it doesn't happen when she is gaping wide to latch - at least not yet! Her tongue looks a bit short to me, but moves freely and the frenum is not attached near the tip... > Rachel, you can encourage the baby to put her tongue forward by touching a finger to an iceblock and then to her lower lip - she will put her tongue out as far as she can. Parents can do this once or twice before the feed.
