I find very few mothers who "like" the SNS.  Most report it as being
"too much work".  More will stick with the "starter" version.  No
supplementer will help if baby has a poor suck or won't latch.  You
mentioned that 2 of the 3 were vacuum.  I would strongly suspect that as
a big part of the problem unless proven otherwise.  Look at the bruise
they tend to leave.  They have to be giving baby a headache!  If baby
has to have one, I sure prefer to see them off to one side rather than
centered on the head.  That way you can position in football on one side
and cross-cradle on the other thus keeping the bruise facing upward.  It
usually makes a big difference.  The lengthy epidurals can't have helped
either.  I think these babies needed more time to adjust and to be fed
by cup or finger until these problems resolve.
