Re-subscribing after a hiatus...Hello all..

> I saw a mom at the clinic yesterday...down to 50th percentile from 90th
> percentile...two months old. Fat baby, no evidence of dehydration. Bright
> and contented. Gaining but slowly.  Output appropriate. Lots of loud
> clicking when let-down happens but baby does not seem to have problem
> dealing with the flow. Tongue is visibly well cupped and deep around
> areola. Nipple shape remains the same during the feed. No discomfort.
> Swallowing ++. Deep pauses as baby's mouth fills with milk. Weight pc (at
> mom's insistence) was 100cc. I tend not to be overly concerned with this
> babe's slow weight gain and weight does not fit with clinical picture. My
> question is...how much do I have to try to "fix" the clicking if
> everything else looks good?
