Jane: Regarding the baby who will not latch on, If it was just born last
night I think it is too soon to offer formula, syringe or otherwise. Would
rather sugar than milk proteins. I had a baby refuse for 7 days once and we
tried many times a day while pumping and giving it to baby via finger
feeding, syringe and bottle. Changing the method made it tolerable for the
frustrated parents. After 7 days she opened her mouth and latched on and
nursed for 3 years. So don't let her give up over this. Good luck.
