Go back to a Widstrom article that may have been the first I saw raising
this problem. Ref iS;
Widstrom A-M, et al
Gastric suction in healthy newborn infants
ACTA PAEDIATR SCAND 76:566-72, 1987
From my abstract: fround that in normal term infants, hand-to-mouth,
rooting, and suckling tend to occur in a well-organized sequence within the
first hour of birth. When babies are gastric suctioned, this sequence is
disturbed and delayed.
Authors recommend not suctioning without cause.
