Lip tie is a condition in which the upper lip of an infant is connected to the lower lip by a membrane. It can cause problems with breastfeeding, speech development, and feeding.
Infant Lip tie can be surgically corrected at an early age which should not be delayed as it can affect the child’s speech development and ability to suckle. Many babies are born with this condition, and they often need corrective surgery to correct it. However, some babies might not need surgery if their lip ties are released correctly during breastfeeding.
Lip ties can cause a range of problems for infants, including speech/feeding issues.
Lip ties are commonly seen in babies with a cleft lip and palate. The condition is also seen in children with Down syndrome, Pierre Robin sequence, and other needs that result in a malformed upper lip. The condition can be corrected before it becomes too severe by placing a small incision on the upper lip to release the frenulum of the lip tie.
Lip Tie Surgery

The removed tissue will then fall into or onto the lower lip, depending on which side was cut first.

Reasons Of Infant Lip Tie
The most common reason for having a lip tie condition is that the infant was born with it. Another reason is that an injury or illness may cause it in infancy. Lip ties can also be caused by breastfeeding problems such as poor latch, nipple trauma, or insufficient milk production - which are often related to other health conditions such as inadequate lactation or low milk supply.
