[quote=Anonymous]My son had mild low muscle tone, but he could breast feed. Two things that I did with him that I did not do with my oldest were feed him while laying down on my side. I did not know he had low tone, but we naturally fell into that position- maybe it was easier because his muscles were more supported? Also I would stroke his cheek to remind him to eat (read this somewhere and it helped him). Really I did not realize he had low tone until he started having problems with solids and sippy cups. Nursing worked fine and he did not want to move on until 1 year. I hope you find something that works. Also if you suspect low tone, make sure you write down when he reaches important steps- I have had quite a few doctors ask when he lifted his head, sat up, crawled, started walking and said his first real words. I know rough ages for these, but I did not write exact dates.[/quote]
