Both of my girls have this. LO1 is four now and we've had no issues from it. She nursed just fine when she was a baby, speaks just fine, and her doctor said the gap may actually help when her adult teeth come in. DH had one and had to have it cut eventually so I'm not sure if she will, too. LO2 has a bigger gap so I'm curious to see how it affects her. She also had a high palate at birth and was never able to latch comfortably.

@peaches1038: I'd talk to the dentist. I had mine revised when I was 5 and I remember it. That is the dentist's domain because it may or may not be a problem.
My son had it but busted it during a fall when he was 3, so no surgery for him! Also, he might not have needed it. Some level of tissue there is normal.

Both my girls have one but my second has a bigger one than my first. I had to pull her upper lip out for her to nurse well at first but then she did fine. The LC recommended getting it cut, the peds and dentist said meh - so we didn't. The only thing we were warned about was that if it gets busted from a fall it's bloody.
