Has any heard of a technique used to help a baby with a tendency to pull  
back his tongue behind the gum line when feeding (sometimes as much as to be as  
Marmet describes as "bunching" in the back of the mouth) simply by the LC  
holding her index finger gently under the baby's chin, exerting slight upward  
pressure,as he feeds?
