		Jane, I'm having trouble imagining what you are saying.

		Are you talking about mom turning while using
		the "football hold" ?  Would you break it down.

It describes holding the baby prior to feeding on his/her tummy over moms knees and have him/her suck on her finger to encourage the tongue to fall forward and relax the tension in the jaw to decrease biting. I think it was called magic hold, calm hold or something but can not find the article. Anyone know what I am talking about and can point me in the right direction??
