[quote=Anonymous]Thanks everyone. The suggestion of a speech therapist is very helpful. Actually, we did see one who we were referred to, but she didn't see anything unusual, which honestly surprised me because he really seems to have some coordination issues. I recently contacted her again to see him for a second time because I think he just had a good day with her, but I'm waiting for a call-back. I am suspicious there is a swallowing issue that isn't related to sucking and might be harder to see. Of course, I'm happy with her initial diagnosis that he doesn't have any mouth problems, but I can't help feeling it might not tell the whole story. I looked up swallow disorders and was surprised to see all of his symptoms on the list. Unfortunately, many are also symptoms of reflux, so it's hard to distinguish. We are working hard on the reflux right now, and I do wonder whether it might help if that gets under control.

I know some women/babies can't BF and am willing to accept that, but I just feel like there HAS to be a reason!![/quote]
