> What is OAMER and how does it effect milk supply and nursing/sleeping
> patterns?

Jodi et al,

I was referring to Over Active Milk Ejection Reflex -- a condition where
the breasts are just really overanxious to produce and provide milk! :)
Moms often complain of painful let down, leaking, engorgement. Babies
usually cough and sputter and gag, and may be very gassy. It's like
drinking water from a fire hydrant. They often get too much foremilk, so
their BMs can be green and frothy. There is WAY more to say about this,
but I'm keeping it brief. So feel free to ask specific questions and
I'll do my best to answer. (again, email me privately if I'm not
responding -- I don't get to read all posts)

I'm glad you asked BTW ....I have a hunch that this condition is more
common than most people realize and often goes underdiagnosed,
particularly in babies with "colic".

This is another topic I'm going to be writing a lot about on my web
site, so I'll keep you posted!!! (If I'd stop playing on email and get
back to work!!! LOL!)

Marci :)
