This is one case, my third child was born in a birthing center and as "prepared" as we were, we did not anticipate meconium and the aggressiveness which "hospital protocol" demanded it be treated. So, this healthy 7#11oz unmedicated baby was deep y suctioned several times. He did go on to nurse beatuifully! He had terrible stridor for weeks that no doubt was related to suctioning, but he never had a problem with breastfeeding. Robin Hollen, RN, IBCLC
