His latch and tongue needs retrained. it is habit for him to not put his tongue back instead of forward. You have to break the habit and teach him how to do it the right way.
When my little one had it clipped at 4wks it immediatly was better but within a couple nursing sessions it started getting worse again.
Don't worry, the retraining works, and it will get better - just think of it as breaking a habit that has been going on for 9months. It will take some time, but will get better.
I can't find the link on how to retrain the tongue - could somone link it - I know I've seen someone post the link before.

Was it a posterior tie? Who revised it? Did they tell you how to do the stretches to prevent reattachment? I'm so sorry you're dealing with this, it is so frustrating!
We had my 3 month old revised and had immediate improvement, thought it took a full month to see full results. Cranio sacral work will help, but we couldn't afford it. Then she got sick and I got mastitis, we had some reattachment. I opened it up again and am hopefully seeing improvement again. It's a long road, I know :(

Here's a group you might find helpful, there's also another group for after clipping support but it's not active yet unfortunately. Everyone in here is so helpful and there's tons of information in the files section :)

I have no idea! I was never given any stretches or anything!
