Congrats, Tommo!

I wouldn’t worry so much about the slant of the teat. That’s not really what you should be looking for here! After the Andy Wood interview we’ve had to re-think our concept of teatslanting entirely (and biology, too)! In short, you’re not trying to influence the way the teat is slanted, you’re trying to change the mouth orientation so that it moves on a different diagonal.

As always, a video says a thousand words. Post any footage you might have and I’d be more than happy to take a look.

Congratulations @tommo!!! You’re much more adventurous than I am. When my wife had our son 4 years ago it was the best thing that ever happened to us…but I could never fathom why anyone would want more than 1 child hahahahahaha! I’m still begging for mercy and trying to come up for air. This kid is just nuts.

Seriously though, best wishes!

Thank you all for the great support :smiley:

We survived the first week and I even played some guitar :slight_smile: We’ll soon try to teach the new kid our family routine so I can get back to work more regularly!

Also, thank you so much for the info about teatslanting and mouth orientation. This is groundbreaking and was not explained in any of the 80s instructional videos that we bought :smiley:

@tommo, oh dear my friend. You have fallen into the same trap I did, by not learning from the first, being lulled into a false sense of security and having a second! What are you? A glutton for punishment??
Haha! All jokes aside, I’m glad to hear of your new arrival and wish you and your family well - enjoy this special time!

Hey All,

Once again, thank you so much for all the kind words, I’m very happy to be part of (and now work with!) this virtual community.

Anyway, I’m back to work on the forum! I see that I have a backlog of comments / videos to respond to, I’ll try to address them all in the coming days, but please don’t hesitate to tag me again if you think I may have missed you!
