hi all,
i wanted to update you on my daughters progress with her baby.  the baby is 
now 8 weeks old and finally the nursing is going well. baby has a  receding 
chin, and a tongue that stays on the roof of his mouth, so latch has  been a 
problem. 
 
he was born in august, in nyc, when just about all the lc's  were on 
vacation. she did find a pediatrician, who is also an IBCLC, makes home  visits and 
accepts insurance!  my daughter had thrush, & a bacterial  infection.  treated 
both mom/baby and both are now doing  great.
 
my daughter is involved with a playgroup, with about 6-8  moms/babies. ages 
range from 4 weeks to 3 months, all are nursing except for one  mom/baby. i 
thought that was great!
 
i am so relieved she got thru such a difficult time with the  nursing, it was 
so painful for her, she persisted, stuck with it, and is now  starting to 
enjoy it. this was not an easy pregnancy, the birth was not easy, he  was 10 days 
late, she was induced, 
his head was transverse, he never dropped, he was 9 pounds,  she had a 
cesarean delivery. 
 
i am grateful things are improving, and i am loving being a  grandma.
