I have had two white baby girls who sucked their tongues. One I only saw
in the hospital. Mother did not ask for a second consult, kept trying and
pumped for one month, then quit.
The second I did manage to get latched and suckling on 3 visits with the
aid of a Lact-Aid but mother could never manage without my help. They
moved when baby was 3 1/2 weeks old and mother quit at that time. Not
great success but neither Mom was really committed. 2nd had previously
formula fed her first child.
