Hi Rachel Glad the baby is gaining and mom w/ good supply. That's the foundation they need to accomplish the rest. Have you tried a self-attachment sort of activity? With baby prone on mom's tummy or chest, which would help the tongue come forward too, and seeing if the baby would search for the breast, the scent etc and self-attach? Might be fun to try if everyone is relaxed about it. Laurie Laurie Wheeler, IBCLC, MN, RN New Orleans Louisiana, s.e.
