How can I recognize a tongue tie or lip tie?
Tongue tie:

- Indetation in the middle
- During crying a low tongue position with sometimes a dent or a bowl shape;
- White debris from halfway the tongue to the back
Liptie:
- Suction blister upper lip in babies;
- Bloodless and red/ white line under nose when drinking babies; (see photo)
- Blanching attachment of tie on the edge of the upper jaw (see photo);
- A diastema when teeth come through
