Have not been reading all my lacnet messages but wanted to put my 2 cents in. The baby who has a poor suck and subtle neurologic problems could present transverse in labor because of subtle tone abnormalities. The way a fetus gets in the proper position for birth is by all the kicking and moving that they do. Of course most of the subtle tone abnormalities we see in the newborn period be they large muscle movement or small muscle movement ( which would cause problems with nursing) usually resolve over time.)
