I am wondering what techniques you all use for working with those babies who
do their tongue motions wrong on the breast. For example, the tongue motions
going from back to front, or the tongue dropping too far away from the
nipple when the jaw goes in the downward motion (not cupping the nipple), or
even when the baby hardly moves his tongue at all.
Secondly, how long do you guess it usually takes to cure this problem?
Thirdly, what causes a brand new baby to do it's tongue wrong like this?
