Now to the second half of Jean's question:
WHen I was a new mom, I was too dumb to know that there was anything
wrong with my son. Sure I noticed the sore nipples, blisters, bleeding,
the fact that he fell off every 3 sucks, and nursed for an hour and 15
minutes out of every hour and a half; but I thought all that was
normal. We made it through because of one dedicated nurse "LC" in the
hospital, (there were no IBCLC's yet). I still remember her name and
pray for her when I think of her.
Most of my interest in sucking problems was sparked by trying to help
others, though I had wonderful brains to pick among my son's physical,
speech, and occupational therapists over the years. So, it is kind of a
combination, my experience with my son sensitized me and gave me the
resources to pursue this as an interest once I found there was a need
for it among my childbirth ed clients.
