Many babies have a tongue tie that restricts the movement of the tongue and can affect  breastfeeding and bottle feeding. The symptoms often experienced include :

Shallow latch or inability to latch on , very frequent feedings, sleepy feeds , weight loss issues , baby slides off the nipple , clicking whilst nursing , gassiness, reflux  or colic,  gagging on milk 

It can also affect babies who are bottle-feeding and the symptoms include  excess clicking, dribbling, coughing, choking and spluttering .
