Laurie,
You mention epidural. Did the mom perchance also get Stadol? It tends to
really whack out a baby's suck, in my experience. The baby will open, attempt
to latch, & then "bang" the tongue against the nipple without actually getting
a good suckle. I notice that even the totally bottlefed babies have trouble
after Stadol. There seems to be a "window" of time, like over 1-2 hours
before delivery, that administration of Stadol seems to do the most damage.
Has anyone else noticed this? I experienced it first-hand with my youngest 9
years ago. Had one dose of Stadol (thought I was doing good to avoid the
epidural, given that he was posterior AND I had stomach flu & gas pains worse
than the labor pains!), about 2 hours before delivering. Peter sucked like a
"nipple-confused" baby on the delivery table, and was 3 months old before he
actually latched & nursed correctly.
