Very interesting article, thanks for pointing it out, Pamela.
I noticed in the photo of the swaddled baby that the arms are across the
chest, not down against the sides. Bringing the arms across the chest
abducts the shoulder blades, increasing neck/jaw/tongue stability.
I suspect that breastfeeding is more resilient than we think, BUT in
unmotivated or conflicted moms, everything we can do 'right' can make a
huge difference.
