Hi, I almost hesitate to mention this, but a neighbour had terrible trouble latching her baby on - she seemed totally disinterested in the breast and not greatly fascinated by the bottle. She had to be tube fed for the first few days before they finally realised the problem - the baby was blind. Unfortunately, her mother had contracted toxoplasmosis during pregnancy. The "baby" is now a 6yo and doing great, but she has minimal sight. -- Anna (Mummy to Emma, born 17th Jan 1995, Alice, born 11th Sept 1996, ??? due 18th April 1998) Email: [log in to unmask] Web Page: http://www.ratbag.demon.co.uk/anna
