Thank you for posting this chilling story.

This sadly illustrates the point that Barbara Wilson-Clay and I have made
repeatedly: when a baby cannot feed at breast, there's something wrong. In
this baby's case, probably VERY wrong. We (the collective "we" of the health
care system with all its players working toward a common goal) should be
devoting our efforts to diagnosing and fixing the baby's problem, not just
jumping from one gadget to another in our efforts to get food into the baby.
