Hi mom, I cannot conclude if something is wrong or not without seeing the child. I will encourage you take your child to a speech therapist or a developmental paediatrician at any teaching hospital nearest to them for proper assessment and management.

There is what we call frenulum which attaches the tongue to the floor of the mouth. It is usually a thin membrane and as the baby's tongue grow bigger, it seems to become smaller. However, in some babies, it can be quite thick. It is this frenulum mum usually call tongue-tie especially when it extends to the tip of the tongue. Most times, the baby's tongue can still lift up and protrude without any problem
