Lactnetters, I posted yesterday about persistent sore nipples. I failed to
mention that the baby is in a brace from neck to toe for hip displasia.
Have you had experience with this restriction causing a baby to be hard on
the nipples. I thought of this when I read about the cranio-sacral
treatments. The mother feels that they have a good body position. The baby
is due to phase out the brace soon and if I can get her to maintain her milk
supply until then perhaps we can do some correction.
I had mentioned c-s treatments earlier but she shunned the suggestion.
Let me know if you have had experience with the brace and feeding difficulties.
