[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 500759, member: 84"] Janet.........sounds like somehow Mickey doesn't have the hang of svcking. Travis never learned after birth due to being in a coma for 10 days, they fed him via a tube. So once he was conscious, we had to teach him how to svck. He did that limp chewy thing too with the nipples. I don't think a nuk nipple would be firm enough to try what I'm gonna tell you..........But find a fairly firm nipple, when she goes limp sort of push the nipple up toward the roof of her mouth, it should start up the svcking again. (you might have to do it a couple of times to get her started, and mult times during bottle time) I had to do this for weeks and weeks with Travis until he finally had mastered svcking on the nipple. So......you may be right that there are some neuro issues going on, be it sensory or otherwise. I'm not giving up on my lil Connor man, and I'll keep talking to easy child. In the meantime, I work with him cuz that's just what I do. I do it with any baby. A fav game of his right now is "playing faces" He makes an exaggerated expression (usually of suprise, sometimes anger) and Nana copes it and he laughs and repeats. lol I give him a bowl and spoon to play with so he can practice eating, and I know easy child does this too. I'm trying to get him to stop the biting thing.......it's sensory related he does it when excited, happy, and mad......I've been redirecting it toward his favorite blankie instead of people. Now if we can just do something about his fascination with pulling his brothers hair..... I think it's because their hair is cut so short. lol [/QUOTE]
