I have had two white baby girls who sucked their tongues. One I only saw in the hospital. Mother did not ask for a second consult, kept trying and pumped for one month, then quit. The second I did manage to get latched and suckling on 3 visits with the aid of a Lact-Aid but mother could never manage without my help. They moved when baby was 3 1/2 weeks old and mother quit at that time. Not great success but neither Mom was really committed. 2nd had previously formula fed her first child. -- ******Joan M.
