Hi All



Over the past few weeks I have noticed more babies born who  tongue suck,
when I chat to the parents they mention that the scans show the babies hands
near their face or fingers in the mouth.

When trying to breastfeed these infants don't latch, have very narrow gapes,
and still tongue suck. other than using slight pressure on the jaw to break
the seal, suck training exercises and skin to skin I don't know what else to
recommend.



Are there any exercise that anyone uses and are willing to share with me





Sincerely

June Nicholls
