I have seen this sometimes too, but my working hypothesis is that the
oversupply is just aggravating an existing tendency.    Those babies prone to
GER are presumably therefore going to be more reactive to other oral insults
(like a firehose in the face), in contrast to those babies who just turn
their heads, take the spray in one ear, and then go inperturbably back to
nursing.

I'd be interested in others' experience and thinking here, too, though.
