PTP:Failed induction, C-sec for pre-eclampsia 38 wks 4 d. Baby sleepy, would latch, never nursed more than few min, lost 11% body wt, began supp and pumping, 34 days in hosp, mom readm 2 days later, baby with mom & dad, mom on mag for 4 days, tried nsg, but baby didn't latch well or suck strongly, TT discovered, after dischg had a clip @ 12 days for tt & lip tie. I first saw her, re-attached @ about 18days & Dr suggested seeing someone with laser. so she had laser done at 18 days. Baby began to refuse to suck, angry after stretches. I suggested backing off, let her forget why mad, give paced bottle feeding in BF position. (Mom was also sent back to ER twice for increased B/P. on Procardia) Suggested co bathing at about 6 weeks, 1st x or 2 latched and sucked best ever, now refusing again even in bath. Mom routinely has gotten 5-6 oz/day, now 10-12, all along abt 1/3 of what baby takes per day. Was gaining rapidly and I had suggested getting too much formula, so tried to back off and use paci-which she won't take, Mom thinks baby has difficulty getting herself organized to suck. Now 7 wks old.
Does anyone have any good ideas???? Pat in SNJ
