I've answered the wonderful posts so far privately, but I do want to say that I agree - out experience with the Calma wasn't positive. Oh! And Cathy's Sucking Skills book is my Bible! :) Thank you to all who have given I out so far.

I haven't found the haberman to improve a suck...just to provide calories for babies who can't feed effectively otherwise. And I have yet to see a baby who could use the Calma; not saying it can't happen, but the flow can be so overwhelming. In addition to suggestions in Cathy's excellent book, I would find a therapist who works with infant feeding issues, *and* who has attended Beckman Oral Motor training, while continuing to support mom. > Amy Peterson > > *********************************************** > > Archives: http://community.lsoft.com/archives/LACTNET.html > To reach list owners: [log in to unmask] > Mail all list management commands to: [log in to unmask] > COMMANDS: > 1.
