In a rush so addressing a couple of posts in one...
Can anyone provide me with internet links to websites supportive of healthy
> infant feeding in Korean?
I've found this and would love to know of other resources...

Need more info...
Is mom's temperature normal or high?
What were babies' gestational age at birth? How has milk been removed --
babies only, babies and milk expression/pump, or milk expression/pump only?
If using a breast pump, which type -- rental or personal -- and do flanges
"fit" correctly? How often is/was milk removed via babies and/or milk
expression?

In the bottle nipple/teat trials we did using a breast pump under a
systematic process using suction pressure in newborn range, the level/stage
1 newborn Playtex VentAire was slower -- may actually be TOO slow for many
newborns experiencing disorganized suckling. However, for a baby who
basically "has it" and has oral anatomy issues, it may be very appropriate
as per Dr. Leeper's experience. I believe Lisa Sandora, MA, SLP-CCC, IBCLC,
one of our outpatient LCs who is co-investigator re: bottle teat trial,
finds the narrow or standard Dr. Brown is also an option for the baby with
the higher/channel/domed palate, which often goes with tongue tie.
