Don't know what negative flow means in this context, but reducing
excessive jaw excursions does require the baby to do something with the
tongue instead to create negative pressure. They just can't always
manage to get sufficient milk.
I prefer using a supplementer at breast that requires the baby to use
suction. But I can see the utility of the jaw support, used carefully.

And what are your thoughts on teaching these methods following tongue tie revision to enable a baby to transfer milk properly? On the method of restraining jaw movement of a baby at a bottle to teach it to use its tongue properly?
