Rebirthing in a warm water bath (mom and baby) is a well-established and
widely-used technique for getting babies to breastfeed who either never have
due to some special circumstance surrounding delivery, or who are on a
nursing strike at a later age.  Sometimes it takes 2-3 evenings of warm/dark
baths before the baby will accept the breast once again whenever it is
offered.  There's probably a lot in the LactNet archives, try searching
under rebirthing and/or "nursing strike".
