Virginia, I'd agree that this is very, very strange..... Unless she
is using a hypoallergenic formula, and her own milk contains large
quantities of allergens, the only other thought I'd have is that
maybe this is a mum who is seeking endorsement that giving her own
milk to her baby by any route, either direct or via bottle, will be
"impossible", and seeking your agreement that this is so, so that she
can tell herself or her family that "even the LC told me I couldn't
breastfeed....."
Sadly, I've worked with similar off-the-wall situations, where the
mother assures me vehemently that she really wants to breastfeed, but
then does everything possible to sabotage it, and it always takes me
quite a while to believe the evidence of my own eyes :-(

I shall be seeing a mother who reports that her 2-week-old baby is vomiting
after breastfeeding and after drinking EBM by bottle. She reports her baby
keeps down and "likes" artificial formula by bottle. Obviously I haven't
seen them yet and so I haven't observed the situation, and when I do I'll
be looking for factors related to what and why.
In the meantime, I'd be grateful for some suggestions out of left field.
It's the vomiting of breastmillk (however it is given) and not after an
artificial product that has me puzzled.
