Hi Roselina,
Could you describe "nibbling" more fully? You say that the baby has a good
latch and suck, but is nibbling. Those statements seem contrary. To me, a
nibbling baby is not well attached, has a shallow latch and poor suck. Is it
just that he was sucking infrequently most of the time before the CST and
increased the frequency of suck fterwards or did the actual latch and suck
change after CST?
