[quote=Anonymous]I also suspected this was the mom who was trying to find signs of CP.  I really think you need to back off if so.  The fact that an OT thought there might be evidence of low tone is not conclusive.

Really, OP, I mean this in the kindest way -- subjecting your infant to a swallow study merely because the two of you have not been a successful breastfeeding pair is really kind of cruel.  Have YOU had a swallow study?  It feels to me at this point that you are searching for something, anything, to blame a failure of breastfeeding on.  I think the fact that you have not been able to breastfeed is a personal loss or blow to you.  But many women have been unsuccessful.  It DOESN'T mean something is wrong with their child or that the child should be subjected to endless medical and clinical studies.

OP, it's time to let this go.  You don't know that your child is special needs.  The fact that one OT somewhere suggested he may have low tone -- that really is kind of meaningless.
Please.  For this child's sake.  Because frankly, I'm going to put this out there -- you are starting to scare me.[/quote]
