Well, in the complete absence of up-to-date info re: the mom advised about
the negative effect of BF "fat pads" in cheeks on speech development of her
very premie baby, I have to say that it sounds like TOTAL HOGWASH to me!
Maybe this "speech therapist" dozed off and woke up in the middle of the
lecture and got it wrong, but I can't imagine that that could be right.

I apologize in advance if I'm showing my ignorance - freely admit that I'm
just going on gut instinct here.
