DS, 4.5 weeks, has silent reflux and is on Losec. He had thrush at about 10 days, which we were both treated for. We're also having issues with feeding since he was about 2 weeks (when the reflux became noticeable): my nipples are now red, peeling, cracked, very sore and sensitive (so I'm guessing I have thrush). He pulls off many times during a feed and sometimes cries, sometimes 'clicks' and his latch isn't great. Then there's all the reflux issues - arching, wet burps, hiccups, phlegmmy coughing noises etc. I've been working on improving attachment, which helps with the pain, but not DS' issues (perhaps slightly less wind/discomfort).

I accidentally found a link on the ABA site to tongue tie, which I read as my niece had one. Some of the feeding issues are what I have with DS2 and it mentions thrush too. The article linked to another on a different site which mentioned that tongue and lip tie can cause reflux. Could that be what DS2 has? It seems like there's no tongue tie, but there is definitely 'something' on the top lip - the frenulum looks larger/more attached than DH's or mine, for example.

So, where to next? LC? GP? Paed? Paed dentist? All of the above? Who is most likely to listen, be able to tell if there's a tongue tie, help with BF support? How do I find a good one? Has anyone else had experience with lip tie and reflux they can share? Did treating the lip tie help with feeding issues or reflux if applicable?
