​​​There is no such thing as a "little tongue tie".
A tongue tie is a functional issue. If there is a concern, there is a concern, doesn't matter if it feels big or small. Your concerns with breastfeeding matter!

"Just keep putting the baby to the breast to make more milk." In theory, putting a baby to the breast often to feed increases milk supply. In practice,  there are many babies that ineffectively feed, so milk removal is inadequate resulting in deceased milk supply & insufficient weight gain.  
​
"Babies that are hungry will cry and let you know". Some babies will and some babies won't. This is dependent on a few factors, but primarily, babies who have good intake and good weight gain will. Babies who are struggling with intake, tired and slower to gain weight, often depend on parents to wake them and offer a feed.
