suggestions needed for vacuum-cleaner suck

[Guest guest]

Hi, Ladies.

I need a refresher on ideas for dealing with a baby whose suck is way too strong--makes mom's nipples bloody. Tongue tie has already been clipped. Already had several sessions of craniosacral therapy with a practitioner I trust, and this practitioner is puzzled by how strong the suck is even on her finger. I know that some babies clamp when they don't feel well-supported. Baby is a month old, mom's third baby, she has a pretty good idea how to hold baby during breastfeeding.

I've tried looking in Genna's new book, but can't find anything in the index or table of contents that seems to deal with strong suck and just don't have time to read the book cover to cover before the follow-up consultation we have scheduled. Suggestions needed and welcome!
