To Mary Kay and Judy, thank you for your responses to my case.
This baby does not have Downs Syndrome.  The tongue protruding out is  a 
recent event.  There are no other markers for Downs.  But there may  be another 
genetic cause to this baby's problem/
Judy, doing a test weight would not give much feedback.  This baby has  very 
short nursings.  I can see the baby transferring milk but not that  much.  The 
good thing is that this mother is willing to do the short  frequent feedings 
demanded by this baby.  
I also don't think this baby would tolerate an SNS at the breast much less  
trying to explain this to this mother.
Thanks for your input.
