Once let-down occurs, your baby should suck at the rate of about one suck a second, pausing only to take a breath with every few sucks. Listen for swallowing.
Some babies swallow softly and other gulp loudly.
You should NOT hear a clicking or smacking sound. Watch your baby s jaw. You should see rhythmic movement in the muscle that runs from the lower jaw to the ear when he is sucking deeply. You should NOT see deep dimpling of his cheeks. Click here to view the Online Resources page of this Web.
