Dear Friends:
     Further update on the mother whose babies refused to nurse. The mother
reports that this baby hates the sling and the snugli and seems to prefer
being in a bouncy seat to being carried. Her son was similar, and she used
the word hypersensitive to describe him in that clothes bothered him,
especially seams and labels.
     AHA, now maybe a clue.
     I am referred her to a pediatric occupational therapist for evaluation;
this looks like more than a lactation problem. As someone so wonderfully
pointed out, a baby that won't breastfeed is telling us something and it is a
sign or symptom of something else.
     She will also start finger feeding, as there is a chance this baby is
hooked on flow.
     Warmly,
Nikki Lee RN, MSN, Mother of 2, IBCLC, CIMI, CCE
