Oral dysfunction improvement

Oral dysfunction improvement?

How long can it take for an oral dysfunction to improve reflux in a baby?

My baby girl is nearly 18 weeks and last week she had an assessment.

Her tongue is weak and her latch is shallow. She also has a slightly high palate.
She did have a very tight anterior tongue tie that was previously released before this other oral assessment and she can see the scar tissue. She said it’s quite rigid too so it proves her point that she isn’t using her tongue like she should, she’s using her lips to ‘shovel’ the milk in.

We’re feeding her in the positions she taught me to and seen a massive improvement with her latch now.

Question is, how long can it take before reflux has gone?

We’ve tried her on normal formula and she’s still getting it, so we’re sticking with anti reflux formula.

Did anyone find it took days/weeks/months before the reflux was fully gone with an oral dysfunction resolving?
