I appeal to those LC's that are more experienced than me.
 I have seen some infants who tend to suck on theirs tongue. When their
upper lip is stimulated to elicit a wide gape to latch the infant will
immediately start sucking on their tongue. Thus preventing a proper latch.
What do I do?
I have inserted my gloved finger (with mothers permission) pad side up then
turn finger pad side down and placed gentle pressure on the tongue as I
pull my finger out. There are times that these infants need to be
supplemented because they are not able to latch. So my question is WHAT DO
I DO?
HELP I need suggestions.
