Help I saw a four month old on Saturday. I know what the problem is but don't
how to fix it. I am so used to working with "flexible newborns." This baby is
not allowing the suggestions I gave the mother and therefore they not
working. I need a Lactation consultant or an OT who is experienced in working
with older babies.  The problem is that the baby is pushing the tongue
forward and using the jaw and gums to hold on. She also has some problems
coordinating her suck swallow as she is overcome by the let down at times.
Mom's nipples are very sore. She saw several lactation consultants when the
baby was small but they where not helpful. One told her that with some babies
it always hurts no matter what you do. We live in the Central Valley about 3
hours from the Bay Area and 4 hours from Los Angeles. Mom is desperate. I can
provide more info if you want. Please email me if you can help or know of
someone who can. Thank you. Camille
