Hello,
I posted a message in september about a baby who has a Pierre Robin 
sequence. The mother pumped very frequently and the baby has been fed with 
her milk almost exclusively and at the end by fingerfeeding.
The baby, 8 month age, was operated on for the cleft palate (at the end of 
November) and the mother is now allowed to try feedings at the breast.
The baby is no longer able to swallow (she swallowed correctly before the 
surgery, fingerfeeding was very useful for her learning) and she arches when 
the milk is ejected in her mouth.
The baby turns nervous when fingerfeeding, she bites the mother's finger !
The mother tries breastfeeding early in the morning when the baby is no well 
awaken.
What could you suggest to this mother to help her to breastfeed, she has 
been waiting for this moment for 8 months and il is still so difficult !
Thanks for all ideas
Danièle
