Jessica, you state that all was fine with the one week old baby at breast
for first 6 days or so.  Was mother giving bottles at that point, or only
after this development?

Instead of tube/finger feeding, I would try adding flow to breast with a
feeding tube or SNS at breast, to see if flow makes a difference.  It could
be that the baby does not know what to do at breast compared to the bottle
which flows quickly. I'd like to see what happens when the baby has flow
added with a tube.

Hope the baby is not sick.
