Date: Tue, 6 Feb 1996 16:15:25 -0500 From: Margery Wilson <[log in to unmask]> Subject: clicking noise/nursing baby I have heard some LCs mention the possibility of allergy causing this phenomenon. My youngest daughter clicked her way through infancy and there was nothing I could ever find as the cause. No effects, either: she gained well, I remained comfortable. It has been 7 years since--and I still have no answer! A few weeks ago I saw a month-old baby do the same thing. My first reaction was to try and fix the problem--until I *kept my hands in my pockets and my mouth closed* long enough to realize things were fine. Baby is gaining well, is healthy, mom is comfortable. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Just a thought and word of caution: I was asked to help a mom with bf at the hosp. We worked on latch a bit and as I watched the well latched baby nursing happily, I noted an odd click sound. But everything looked ok and I didn't think much more about it. 2 wk later, the mom called me saying the baby had red staining in her diaper and that the baby didn't seem to be gaining well at all. It sounded like "brick dust" urine which is sometimes present in dehydration, so I advised her to get the baby in to be seen. The doc discovered a small cleft of the soft palate, and the baby had lost nearly 2 lb since birth!! So, if you hear a click - LOOK and make sure the palate is intact.
