Has anyone considered that maybe for this particular baby, he is ready for 
some solids? I am by no means advocating the early initiation of foods 
other than breastmilk, but if he is ready, it would seem to me that maybe 
that's what this particular baby might need. 

If this were the case and his hunger was satisfied, he might nurse better 
at more feeds.

Every baby is different and each has different needs. What is the baby's 
pediatrician recommending: certainly not holding the baby down and forcing 
milk into him with a syringe! That's terrible!

It doesn't sounds as if anyone is following this baby's lead.
