Danielle,
If the baby has a severe Pierre Robin problem... just getting him to
successfully grow is a big deal.  Feed him however you can.  I worked with a
mother for months whose baby had to have a stomach tube and a tracheotomy
because his breathing was such a problem because of the small airway.  The
mother I worked with got an electric double pump and pumped for almost a
year.  She had tons of milk.  She wanted to nurse that little baby so bad...
and he did enjoy snuggling and trying to feed, but he had a terrible time
very early.  Good luck with this mother, she'll appreciate all you help.
