are you sure this mom isn't consuming ANY caffeine? Some babies are
extremely sensitive to it. Any other stimulant? Milk?
Itchy breasts > Could this possibly be related to breast tissue changes
associated with rapid increase in milk supply? I remeber how my breasts
itched during my second pregnancy (it was unbearable, I used ice packs and
over the counter topical anesthetics for times I scratched tjem raw). It
would make sense that this would bother her primarily during nursing when the
milk ducts are being stretchedand filled suddenly with milk at the letdown.
