Do you think there may have been a time when mom's uncontrollable breast
may have covered baby's nose and he now associates the breast with
suffocation?
I had a similar mom in the hospital whose method of latching baby on was to
cup her had behind baby's head and smoosh his face into the breast. I heard
the struggle, saw baby's arms thrashing about & had to pry baby off the
breast because mom would not release her grip. She insisted that's how the
LC showed her to latch baby on. (Not so. I've seen that LC work many times.
This was mom's on interpretation of how to latch.)
