Jan, this baby probably has some nerve compression or vascular compression caused by displaced cranial bones. During birth, the bones move around to get through the birth canal - we all know that. Afterward, they're supposed to all line up right, but sometimes they don't.The hypoglossal nerve is the main motor nerve controlling the muscles (plural) of the tongue, and the tiny foramen it goes through is frequently constricted after birth. The jugular vein also goes through one of the tiny foramen, and constriction here causes vascular changes in the entire cranial area. Cranial osteopaths (DO's with extra training) very gently move them back into position, using feather-light pressures. The results are nothing short of spectacular! MDs in my area are skeptical of this theraputic modality, while DO's are at least aware of it and some are highly trained and skilled in it. Good luck!
