My daughter gave birth to her baby the 7th of November and
he couldn't get it together to latch on to nurse. His muscles in his tongue wouldn't work right,
you might call it a lazy tongue...
Many tears and several frustrating days later after working with a
lactation specialist my daughter switched to using the bottle. With the bottle we could convince him to put
his tongue down and figure out how to suck.
Eleven weeks she has been faithfully pumping all of his milk and using
the bottle, but yesterday her pump wasn't functioning right and she tried one
more time to see if he would nurse - and he did! She called me as he was happily sleeping
after having his first good meal that wasn't from a bottle. That means after
weeks of super hard work she just got
several hours a day given back to her life. Happy baby, Happy mommy and Very happy
Grandma.
