Greetings.... Before the holidays get any closer, I want to report back
on the baby I wrote about who was an extremely noisy nurser whose Mom
reported he stopped breathing during nursing.  Thanks to all who
responded!  The general consensus was that this baby could have a
condition called laryngotrachialmalacia.  I don't believe the Ped ever
ordered a follow-up with an ENT or Pulmonary Doc.  However, I
recommended position adjustments to Mom like what we'd offer for OAL.
Mom reports  baby is nursing more comfortably and a little more
quietly.  Thanks again.

To those of you celebrating  Christmas,   Merry Christmas!
