Does anybody have any experience treating infants? I have a 2 month old infant that I was going to try and not needle if I could help it, but am considering as we are having issues with feeding. My wife has low milk supply (have tried just about everything for that with no success) so we are doing breast feeding and then topping off after with formula. My daugther's main feeding issues are with the bottle- she will often reject or not take very much from the bottle even though she will seem very hungry and will be giving a lot of hunger cues including sucking on her hand. She does mostly fine on the breast, though lately she has been having more issues feeding on the breast as well. Her pediatrician thinks it might be reflux so started her on pepcid, which has seemed to help a little bit so far but she has only been on it for about a week and I guess it needs about 2 weeks to fully kick in. Other issues she has going on are a mild cough as well as some sinus congestion. She has a slightly thick tounge coat in the center of her tongue, abdomen can be a bit tense overall sometimes and lax others, and hands and feet are cold (which I guess is noraml for infants). My main thought was trying ST+, but was just curious if anyone has any other thoughts or just experience treating infants in general and if certain channels are used more than others.

I've seen just a handful of infants.

Based on the symptoms you present, I agree with your idea about St+.
Thanks for your input there Toby. I tried ST+ yesterday and haven't noticed any change yet, but she also has a cold right now so her appetite is lower than normal. Good news though is that she actually did pretty much fine with all the needles which I wasn't expecting. Anyways, with her cold the congestion has been worse than normal, so I'll try LI+ next and see if I can get any traction there.
