Gona post in a couple of other sections too

My little is only 2 days old but we have notice that when feeding he was sucking on the teat for a good half an hour to drink an oz of milk and alot of that was dribbling out. Today I have noticed he sticks his tongue to the roof of his mouth?? I believe this is why he iant drinking properly and is constantly looking for food.
Anybody else had this prob?
 
When B was born we had trouble getting him to suck on breast or bottle so we used syringes and little pill pots as cups to feed him. He eventually worked out how to suck properly but it took about 5 days to get him to take a bottle.
He's never been great with bottles so I suspect tongue tie but staff at the hospital when he was born said he didn't have it.

Also have you thought of variflow teats? He can control what he eats then x
