Greetings from sunny & warm southern California,
        I am looking for your thoughts on a minor problem.  Baby is 6 weeks old
and has been totally breastfed with no problems until about a week ago when
she started to make this sucking clicking sound while nursing.  It starts
off fairly loud and then after ten minutes or so it will get quieter but
does not go away.  Baby latches perfectly.  Mother is not sore and nipples
look normal.  Baby is gaining very well and has a very superior (fathers
words) stool and urine pattern.  Mother does have loads of milk and if baby
is taken off before she is finished the milk will squirt across the room
and not stop until mother pushes into breast with her hand.  I suggested
pumping prior to feeding to see if that helps and I promised I would ask my
fellow lacnutters what they thought of the situation.  It doesn't seem to
be a problem for mother or baby at this point but I would appreciate your
thoughts.
Vivian Derr, NP
