In response to questions about "clicking sounds", often when working with an infant as a chiropractor, I find dysfunction at the temporomandibular joint as a result of inadvertent traction during delivery or possibly positional strain in utero. Release of the submandibular muscle tension and pterygoid tension and restoration of smooth temporomandibular function often improves the infants ability to latch on and the "clicking sounds" disappear. Once more, there might be a variety of reasons for the sounds besides those mentioned (tongue tied or submucosal cleft). *********************************************** The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
