my DS has tongue tie, my brother had one (runs in my dads side of the family, we call it "bum tongue! LOL) after DS was born FIL said he had one which was snipped when he was younger, so its on both sides of the family!
anyway, no one picked it up at the hospital, I noticed it in a photo and when he opened his mouth about a week after he was born, got the MCHN to check it out on her first visit, she said it was pretty bad and could probably do with a snip, take him to the GP.
The GP couldn't have cared less! Its not a problem till its a problem I was told.
I had problems initially with attatchment IRT breastfeeding, but we got through it, I have always thought though that DS gets ALOT of wind and I put it down to him constantly coming off as he cant get the right amount of suction due to his tongue tie.
He is almost 9 months now, and it seems to have stretched by its self quite a bit, he can now poke his tongue out more than he was ever able to, but it still looks like a bum tongue.
havent had any trouble with solids, the Gp said they would only do something about it if it affected his speech later on. which annoyed me at the time, I thought why wait and see when you could do something about it now? it is such a small procedure and a lot easier done before 6 wks of age. but thats my story anyway! sorry its a bit long!
