I know this was a few days ago, this post but...I can say I also worked  with 
a mom whose baby would latch and feed ok at some times during the day, but  
at others would only latch and feed if mom was standing, sometimes walking but  
even standing made a difference.  This mom also had a nanny who took care  of 
the baby from 8PM - 9AM, so baby only actually nursed maybe 3 times a day,  
the rest of the time she got EMM in a bottle. Ironically, this odd situation  
worked ( second baby and mom gave up fairly early on, I didn't know her then)  
and I heard from the mom recently that baby had turned one year, and was still 
 nursing somewhat.
I figure this baby needed the position for organizational purposes, maybe  
flow was a little different as well, interesting we humans are...
 
Peace,
