Hi.  I have a question for you all.
     This Mom's twins are 11 days old,  7# 14 (baby #1) and 6# 14 (baby #2),
40 weeks gestation (!).   The first night in the hospital Mom was nursing
baby #1, who was dozing or asleep at the breast, and he started to gasp for
air and gag, and then turned blue.  Mom used an aspirator to suction his
mouth, removed some colorless "spit", and baby started breathing again.  Baby
#2 did the exact same thing later that night.  Pediatrician was present when
the second baby did it, and said not to worry, that she should just pat his
back, suction him, and he (they) would be fine.  Baby # 2 had a second
occurence in the hospital, and then another last night.  The Mom had been
nursing him while asleep (both Mom and baby), and woke to find baby blue and
gasping.  Mom suctioned him, and found phlegm once again.  Right after that,
baby spit up about a tablespoon of yellow matter that she said resembled
curdled milk.
      This Mom is completely dedicated to nursing, and is searching for some
answers as to what may be going on.  Any thoughts you all might have would be
greatly appreciated.
