Hi Loraine
Thanks for the great explanation. We tried the sucking - baby ended up on
mom's chest with her finger in his mouth. I seem to remember Nils Bergman
saying that palate massage stimulated the Vagus nerve? It's just so hard
when the mother is dopey and sore and I need to get to other babies as well.
However, now that we have the Dindle Bee, maybe we can all retire!!
Greetings for a cold, wet and Wintery Cape Town. (It's supposed to be
Spring here!!)
