<... 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.
