What Causes Hole Under Tongue And Difficulty In Eating To The Baby?
I just noticed that my baby has a hole under his tongue. He has always been quite fussy and a horrible eater. He will breast feed but won t take a bottle or a soother. What is wrong with his tongue and could it be causing all the issues we have been having?

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
I have read your question in detail and I know that you are very concerned about your child.
Hole under the tongue can't occur with any infective disease.
Most probably, the hole is present from birth and you have noticed it now.
There might be a possibility that due to this hole the child has difficulty in feeding.
In my opinion, you should get the child examined by a surgery specialist.
I hope this will help you.
Wishing your child good health.
Take care.
