If any of our Web Surfers out there find the actual article that contains this study, PLEASE POST IT TO THE LIST> I have several moms in a state of sheer panic I want to reserve judgement on this one until I see the sample size and other data. (eg the study was done before the Back To Sleep program started and Kathy D pointed out.) Wasn't there something about a year or so ago that said small amounts of caffeine in pregnancy might prevent preterm labor or was I dreaming? Thanks A case I referred to an OT last week, had the weirdest suck I've ever seen. Baby is slow weight gain because of the sucking problem. This little kid can't get enough nourishment from a bottle, spoon or feeding cup to put on weight. Anyway the OT wrote on the report "May be at high risk for Otitus Media" in direct relation to the sucking problem: High arching of the posterior tongue. Something to think about with repeated ear infections Marie Davis
