Hi Linda:
Questions: What kind of birth did this baby have--interventions involved? How
does her head look--symmetrical, etc.? Any identified neuro problems or any
signs/symptoms of such? Has the baby had an oral occupational therapy
consult? Never thought I'd be suggesting this--but if seems apropos based on
answers to questions, does baby seem candidate for sacrocranial work? (Been
working with AKH too long now!)
If all avenues explored and breastfeeding doesn't seem to be working,
continued milk expression and breast milk feeding is next best option. Can
Mom hang in there with that? (or even do for time being anyway to take
pressure off for now.)
Good Luck--Mom is lucky to have found you. Sounds like you are very sensitive
to her frustrations.
