I am working today with twins, one of which has a preliminary diagnosis of 
craniosynostosis. It is believed at this point that the sagittal suture is fused.  
The baby has not fed well since birth two days ago.  She takes about 5 or 6 
sucks but will not maintain a sucking pattern.  The information I am being 
given is that this condition is cosmetic only, but I am wondering what kind of 
effect this condition might have on feeding.

The other twin is feeding great.  The birth was a planned c-section.  Babies 
are both 7+ pounds, 39 weeks gestation.

Any insight you all might have would be much appreciated.
