Surprise, the one I saw yesterday was Eurasian: Mom Japanese, Dad French
Canadian. Little one, 5700g (not quite six pounds), would do everything
"by the book" (open wide, stick out the tongue, root, etcc) but would not
initiate suckling. Good palate, mipples flattish but erectile. Instead,
when everything was in position, she would curl up her tongue and suck.
How frustrating... Me too, want suggestions !
