Just a thought--in addition to the Mom's changing her management of breastfeeding, if the baby is very uncomfortable with the way mom lets down, can Mom lay on her back and nurse? If the baby has a strong need to suck going "against gravity" may help him to be able to suckle the way he wants but lessen the force of the flow. I hope this helps the baby feel better, which will make Mom feel better too. *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(R) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
