I would go outside the lactation world and even beyond the Cranial Sacral
Therapy (CST) sites to find information that might reassure your doctors.
Around here (Austin, Texas) CST is becoming more mainstream in the Physical
Therapy (PT) community.  My daughter's orthopedist employs a PT who
recommended CST for her chronic knee problem.  I still don't exactly
understand how some kinds of body and energy work actually WORK, but I can
feel them work when I get accupuncture or CST treatments myself, and they
appear to be therapeutic in some situations.  I have a Masters prepared,
Registered Massage Therapist, certified to use CST on infants, whom I refer
to.  She doesn't work miracles, but she's very skillful, and some of the
infants with facial asymmetries, in particular, have really improved
following on-going therapy with her.  I'm assuming that this is in part due
to muscle spasms responding to soft tissue release.  From what I have
experienced and observed, CST is so gentle it can do no harm (my first
criteria for all intervention) when practiced by someone trained to use it
on infants.  I present it to mothers as a form of physical therapy that may
help the infant recover from  intrauterine positioning issues or birth
trauma.
