Dear Friends:
Not to support the BabyWhisperer philosophy (now who would equate being a
parent to taking care of a horse?).....however, in a class I was teaching, a
nurse said that she used a Haberman as an alternative feeding method and
never had any problem getting a baby back to breast.
I was intrigued. Maybe there is something to the design of the Haberman,
which does not flow and only releases milk when the baby works the gadget. I
have tried it once in a difficult case, and the breastfeeding did improve.
However there were confounding variables so there is no way to say for sure.
I think that it should not be used if a baby is chewing as it would
reinforce that behavior. But otherwise? I am curious. Only drawback is the
expense.
Warmly,
