Signs in Infants:

We usually see:

• shallow latch

• colic

• reflux

• excessive gas

• dimpling of cheeks when suckling

• lip blisters

• clicking noises while eating

• high palate

• gagging

• unsuccessful weight gain.

Moms usually report painful breastfeeding, repetitive bouts of mastitis and thrush, and ultimately a decrease in milk production.

All of these struggles tend to lead to the discontinuation of breast feeding.
