Has anyone associated a tight upper labial frenulum with strong tendency to suck the upper lip during attempts at latching? The baby I have in mind also doesn't flange his upper lip outwardly with the bottle or breast. Yet the ped said "no tongue tie or tight labial frenulum evident". I see his labial frenulum but not really sure how tight is tight, and the symptoms give me reason to wonder.
