I was delighted to read of Dr Weichert's results in her article "Lactational reflex recovery in breast-feeding failure."1 All four infants would have been labeled "failure to thrive" in most pediatric centers with possible interruption of the precious lactation bond by formula supplements,2 as recent articles in the English literature have suggested.3,4 The Lact-Aid supplementer, utilized with all four mother-infant dyads, helped correct the problems of breast milk insufficiency and poor infant weight gain. The Lact-Aid is used not only to correct insufficiency and restore confidence, but also to alter sucking defects in babies who have not been acclimated to a constant pattern of good sucking.
