There might be some other causes. <br />Tongue is a very versatile organ. A small tip is essential for its function. If tip of the tongue is not mobile, it can be made free in routine cases. Rest I would like to see the case in person and then comment. <br /><br />Dr. Ajay JainDr. Ajay Jainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04052746830834918501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3133470791589614359.post-50215506413491909382011-05-07T15:21:02.492+05:302011-05-07T15:21:02.492+05:30Dear Dr. Ajay
I am writing from Himachal Pradesh....Dear Dr. Ajay<br /><br />I am writing from Himachal Pradesh. My 3 month old son has been not gaining adequate weight since birth. He has a very poor latch and the sucking is also not good for efficient transfer of breast milk. We have been trying to figure out the reason and a probable reason may be something to do with his oral anatomy. There is no obvious tongue tie like the picture on your blog but his tongue seems short and round and doest extend out well. Though when he feeds it does extend over his gums of the lower jaw. Am not certain if there is a problem but wanted to know from you whether you have any idea of who could give us the right advice of whether there is indeed a problem with the palate or tongue and what could be done next. We would prefer to consult here in Himachal and would come to Delhi only if there are no options here. The closest big hospital to us is the Tanda Medical College and Hospital at Kangra.<br /><br />Looking forward to hearing from you<br /><br />MAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
