Poor baby, being accused of playing up!  Perhaps her ear on mom's arm 
hurts, and this is why she wants to lay on a pillow to feed.  We truly 
can trust babies that they have reasons for what they ask for with their 
behavior.

I had a toddler in my practice who was treated with chemotherapy for 
leukemia.  She went on a nursing strike because she associated 
breastfeeding with the incredible nausea from the chemo.  She would not 
take breast milk in any form, even ice pops.  When the doctor finally 
gave her an antiemetic drug with her chemo, she gratefully went back to 
breastfeeding.  So babies do certainly learn by association, and 
sometimes those associations are faulty.
