Dear Lynnne & Heather
  Sorry if I was vague.  It seemed to me that I was writing too much.  Mom
had an abundant suppply in the beginning.  What she discribes sounded like
overactive milk ejection Baby's response to that might have been to tongue
thrust, or baby might have been sucking on her tongue in utero. I'm only
guessing here.  when I first saw the baby anytime I tried to look into its
mouth the tongue was on the roof of the mouth.  Mom used to be able to pump
2-3 ounces with no problems and now barely gets 1/2 - 1 ounce at a pumping.
Baby was nursing fine and gulping milk but is now only staying on for a
short time.  My hunch is that she is used to fast, abundant flow, and had no
probluem getting milk with her poor suck before, but now that she has to
work for it baby is frustrated. Baby is not nursing well at all ene with
correct position she reverts to a shallow latch and clicking noises very
quikly. I never thought of cliking as normal for some babies do you really
think that it is o.k.?  Hope this clarifies my previous post.

Peg
