Now my little moppet is a bit unique in that he has Tetrology of Fallot,
Pulmonary atresia, VSD and a large PDA but his energy levels in every thing
else are fine. He interacts and plays appropriately, sleeps and wakes like
a normal baby.  But the peanut just will not suck, nothing, not a
movement.  He smiles beautifully and can move his mouth he just has no
sucking reflex.
Mum is pumping and has a great supply but we are stumped because looking at
him he looks like a baby that may be able to feed even a little, but
nothing is happening.
He is 16 weeks old and has never once sucked despite everyone's attempts to
have it happen.
Any thoughts?
