Best type of bottles - tongue tie

[Nessicle]

As the title suggests? My 7 month old finds it difficult on most teats wondered if anyone had any suggestions?

Not entirely sure I can help, but, Please don't think I'm rude but what is your reason for leaving the tongue tie?

My son had one and we had lots of trouble breastfeeding. I was fobbed off that it would be ok minutes after it was diagnosed after birth. At four weeks i asked for a second opinion. The second hospital said it was very restricting for him and they could remove it the very next day. My baby didn't even wake up during the 'snip' it was that effortless. It was there one min, gone the next, with no repercussions.

He takes a very bog standard bottle/teat, the medela ones, which are the stereotypical size and shape, not fancy or naturally shaped etc. he used these when he had the tie and when he didnt. X

My daughter has a lip tie and I've been told it's very likely she has a posterior tongue tie as well as she has all the classic tongue tie symptoms (which unfortunately we didn't know until after we suffered through 10 weeks of mastitis and her not being able to latch and feed properly and struggling to gain weight).

We use tommee tippee bottles/teats. She does okay with them. Up until the past couple weeks she really struggled even with those, but I've noticed recently it's gotten a lot better and sometimes she can even 'latch' onto the bottle without taking in a lot of air and making horrible noises. I'm not sure it's the bottle or just she's gotten big enough to be able to cope with it. I don't think there is anyone one brand that will be easier than another. I had two friends whose babies also have tongue tie (even though it was clipped, twice!, it still grew back) and they use various types with varying degrees of success. You might just have to do some trial and error. How does he do with a sippy cup? Maybe that might even work better in time.

NUK and MAM might be good ones to try

Sorry to hijack but besides the obvious what other symptoms did your LO have with the lip tie? Our girl is 6 weeks and I'm almost sure she has lip tie so wold be interested to hear.
