"It could easily be the fish oil tablets.  Some brands leave a really bad 
after taste, and others do repeat on you.  There are a few brands out there 
that don't but it is a bit of trial and error."

I agree with Jenny's comment.  A couple of months ago I changed my fish oil tablets and noticed reflux and an aftertaste.  This doesn't happen when I use the ones labelled "odourless".  I wonder what dose the mother is taking and if she is eating with it?  A large dose on an empty stomach would probably increase the aftertaste, in conjunction with capsules that aren't "odourless".  This seems to me to be an issue with a dietary supplement, not a breastfeeding issue.
