A few other people and I are trying to collaborate on a little research
project looking at sucking problems associated with difficult labor or
malpresentation. I have spent a bunch of time searching medline without
much success (thankfully via Grateful Med). Has anyone out there
collected material on this subject? I thought there was discussion of this
topic (not just related to the effect of meds on sucking but the possible
effect of a birth difficulty such as posterior position or other
malposition of the head on breastfeeding) on Lactnet. I have tried
accessing the archives from the web but am not getting anywhere when I try
to search by topic (I can't seem to get that feature to work). Could
someone help me?
