Actually I posted this and the baby is 6 months old, no nipple trauma
but not gaining at all, 2 ounces from 4 months to 6 months and
reluctant to nurse except briefly and fussy with solids if they touch
her palate.
We have a good pediatric dentist here and the doctor who saw her
initially is very good, so hopefully things can be sorted out a bit.
