[quote=Anonymous]My first DC sounded exactly like your friend's baby. Turned out to be tongue tie. His nursing just wasn't effective at extracting milk. He'd collapse from exhaustion before he was working so hard to suck, but wake up hungry again almost immediately because he never really got full. It took exactly one visit to an LC to figure it out. LC encouraged us to add one bottle of formula a day while we worked through the tongue tie. In retrospect, I'm only sorry that i waited until he was 2 months old before asking for help. So I +1 the suggestion to mention to your friend that an LC can help her with strategies to manage the cluster feeding. Make it about helping her, not a commentary on how she's raising the baby.
