Two  weeks ago (baby 11 weeks) the mom described the baby as "fussing 
around at the  breast" but of course everything looked wonderful when I saw them. 
Maybe a bit  of what I interpreted as 3 month old behaviors - too nosey to 
settle  down.  And the baby was getting closer to the weight we  wanted.

Yesterday mom came - quite understandably in-between melt-downs  - and I 
got to see what she was talking about. Baby was all over the place -  latched 
on, arched her back, squirmed, came off.
~~~ Hello all,
 
Sorry, my capital d isn't working.
I agree with, I think it was Virginia's, thoughts on reflux. I would add  
that dairy can be a trigger or potentiator of reflux. I saw a baby's latch 
and  nursing  go really bad again when mom started dairy again at 3 months  ( 
doctor told her baby was not sensitive and go ahead... very bad idea.) So 
for  some couples trying a dairy elimination can be very helpful. Also CST can 
help a  lot with vagus nerve issues  which manifest as reflux.
 
Peace,
Judy
