Just a brief note on CST. One of my colleagues (a DO) is particularly
skilled in this method of osteopathic manipulative medicine. She frequently
will work on newborns with BF/suck problems with excellent success. There
has been one case recently that I thought was impressive. The baby has
Turner's Syndrome and a poor suck. Mom was attempting feedings at breast but
usually had to supplement with non-breast options. I don't remember if this
was cup/finger or bottle feeding. Anyway, my colleague has done several
treatments for the baby and each time, the baby would nurse much better at
the breast. The last time we talked about the baby, she had 3 days solely at
the breast. Now, I have not kept up with this case and don't know what is
currently up, but I was impressed that with each treatment, the baby did so
much better. Thought you might be interested. CST DOES work!
