Mardrey, I have seen a baby with tongue tremors, though the one I saw tremored at the end of a decent burst of suckling (10-15 sucks). The most helpful thing we did was to support this little one well in a football hold (gives good stability for better use of oral muscles), and use a finger to provide sublingual support - a finger from the hand supporting the breast is held forward under the chin, gently supporting the d=soft tissue of the tongue from underneathe. Two possible reasons for tremors of the tongue in an otherwise neurologically healthy child: low tone of the tongue, necessitating "fixing" or holding the tongue strongly, which generates muscle fatigue, the fatigued muscles trmble. OR compression of the hypoglossal nerve, which passes closest to the bony structures of the foramen magnum of all the cranial nerves and will be affected first by a little "mashing" during birth. Of course, you could see these same things in a child with a neuro problem, but it is hard to tell a slightly immature nervous system from a mild neuro problem.... Keep us posted.
