I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas about this situation. A mom in my  
support group reports that over the last 4 evenings from 7PM-PM her 6 week  old 
baby has been very fussy, but refuses to eat. During this time she appears  to 
be gagging (making gagging noises) and gags if either breast or finger is  
placed in her mouth. After this two hour period she resumes breastfeeding  
normally.  Mom has an ample milk supply and baby has been gaining about 2  oz. per 
day. I have watched her breastfeed each week at support group and baby  handles 
flow well and is very mellow.  Mom has persistent sore nipples  which have 
responded somewhat to topical yeast tx.--no signs of thrush in baby.  This is a 
by the way--I don't think it is related to what is happening each  evening.  
Any ideas?  Please send replies privately as well as to the  list.
