This is really starting to freak me out.  Phoebe does this thing while i'm nursing her...she will all of a sudden tense up, stop breathing or struggle to breathe, and then gasp for air.  I'm not sure if she's choking on milk or what.  I do have an oversupply.  Anyone else's baby have trouble like this while nursing?

Evie oc does this w/ her bottle feeding, howeer she has reflux and that can be a symptom of that... It is very scarry though. Her lips even turn blue sometimes!

If your really worried call your Ped. Good luck!

DD does this too.  after watching my milk shoot a ridiculously far distance, i realized i have fast let down, where my milk comes out too fast.  what i do to help with this is the football hold, then lean back so gravity is working against us.  it's seemed to help madelyn.
