I was recently on a plane and had the opportunity to flip through some "light" reading magazines. I happened across an article about a young boy who had "mobius syndrome". Has anyone run across this in their capacity as an LC? It mentioned that the mom tried to breastfeed unsuccessfully and tried to bottlefeed without alot of luck either as it seems the muscle around the mouth area does not function well (or at all). As the child grows they are expressionless and unable to smile. How awful to not be able to elicit a smile from someone by smiling at them or unable to return the smile to someone who smiles at you....the things we take for granted, eh?
