Thanks to all for your feedback. Would swallow/suck difficulties explain her
aversion to the breast, though? We've all seen ineffective feeders who are
happy to starve at mom's breast. This baby doesn't want to go there--will
maybe latch for a second, then start to fuss and resist 'being there.' The
mother wisely lets baby set the pace and doesn't try to force it, but I
wonder if the hospital experience of being forced onto the breast, plus no
milk yield for 4 days, caused this. The longest baby has nursed since d/c
has been maybe 2-3 minutes.
BTW, I can't figure out why my posts have the = sign. The settings are for
'plain text.' Sorry for the inconvenience.
Thanks so much for the ideas!

recall you saying. Perhaps there are some airway issues or other problems.
The suggestion for a speech pathologist also is a good one.
