Hi, First time for me to post!  I'm a IBCLC working casually in two clinics.
 I have four boys, and all of them were breastfed.  I would like to know if
there is a reference that suggests vigorous suctioning of the infant after
birth affects the baby's suck.  I saw a baby today who was born at 4 am the
day before and didn't suck effectively till about 2100 hours that night.  The
case room nurse had charted that the infant was mucusy and had been suctioned
vigorously for large amounts on two occassions.  Mom had an epidural.  I
remember hearing this mentioned at conferences, but I'm looking for a
reference that I can show to the resident on the postpartum floor.   Thanks.
