I have not worked with Tourette's before. Laid back nursing, side lying where she can have wt on the arm or a ring sling to use with any position or a wrap of some sort so baby is held in place. I do worry about her hitting the baby. If she could restrain the arm and have a ring sling or Moby to hold baby in place she could learn to use the one arm to latch baby. 
Interesting case. I will look more into it.

She is unable to keep her arm from, as she describes, jolting outward and then swinging back towards her body full force. She has 3 dogs and has hit them all in the face, unwillingly of course, and is worried that she might do the same with her baby. She has considered using an arm restraint. We discussed using a laid back position so that gravity would hold her baby on her body incase she were to "let go" of the baby with that arm. Her medications have been approved for nursing by her pediatrician. Do any of you have experience with this or any good ideas?
