A. I'm so glad to hear that your baby is still able to breastfeed despite having lip tie and tongue tie. It's important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the best course of action for your little one. In terms of timing for surgery or treatment, there isn't a one-size-fits-all answer - it will depend on the severity of the ties and your baby's overall health and development. As for cost, again, it can vary based on factors such as the location and specific procedure needed. However, many insurance plans may cover the cost of treatment for these conditions. Keep advocating for your baby and seeking information - you're doing a great job!

A. at present there is no need to interfere since baby is taking feeding properly wait for sometime ifor further advice in this regard it is advisable to consult your doctor for physical examination and if there is need to do investigations also then only proper treatment can be given
