Lip tie issue

Hi mummies, does anyone’s newborn also have a lip tie issue? Went to PD for a follow up after discharge and was told that baby has lip tie. Anything that I should do or take note of?

Hi! So a friend took her baby for laser treatment at a pediatric dental clinic after being told about a lip tie, and she said the laser option was better than the clip because it's less likely to come back, that was really reassuring for her.
