My girl is tongue-tied

I visited the lactation consultant at BC Women's and Children's hospital. She watched me feed Olivia and attempt to breast feed. She said she might have a posterior tongue-tie. I'm not sure there's anything that can be done about it but it explains a lot. She needs a particular type of nipple to feed successfully. She hasn't had much success breast feeding. She isn't gaining weight quite as fast as I'd like. She's still only 11 lbs. I'd love it if the doctor said there was an easy fix for this condition that would make it easy for her to eat (and breastfeed)!

Here's a link that gives information and shows pictures of these "sneaky" tongue-ties.

It's not showing up as a link, I'm not sure why.

In the (above) blog it says:

Identifying and Diagnosing a Posterior Tongue Tie

The following symptoms have been noted anecdotally by mothers of babies diagnosed with a posterior tongue tie. Remember that not all of the symptoms must be present in order to be considered a posterior tongue tie. There are varying degrees of ties.

• Inability to achieve latch to bare breast
• Clicking noises while sucking, more notable during bottlefeeding
• Loss of latch on breast or bottle nipple
• Loud gulping noises
• Choking on milk or gasping for air mid-feed
• Short and frequent feedings (grazing/snacking)
• Noticeably strong suck
• Decreased saliva production
• Inability to effectively remove milk
• Milk dribbling out of the mouth during feeds
