A new friend told me of her experience attempting to breastfeed her son,
a healthy, full-term newborn.  She insists that the baby did not learn
to suck.  She ended up feeding him formula with a 3-holed nipple so he'd
get nourishment.  Even as a toddler, he couldn't handle the sippy cups
with the no-drip inserts that he had to suck hard to get the contents.
Sounds weird to me.  I don't know any details as far as what he was
offered in the newborn nursery as far as supplements.  I do know she put
him on an Ezzo-schedule.  Anyone heard of this?  How do you overcome it?

It's rather irrelevant to her now, as the baby is 4 years old, but I'm
interested for educational reasons.

Thanks ~ Heidi
