[quote=Anonymous]OP again--no oversupply that I know of; no choking, etc., and after taking careful note of the patterns since posting, I noticed that about half the time the arching actually starts before he's even latched on, which is weird. We're trying the angle, smaller more frequent feedings, and lots of burp breaks, though not sure it's helping much. About one feed out of three is completely fine (as are all bottle feeds) and the rest range from fussing before finally latching to fussing so much that he never does latch long enough to get much. I do notice lots of wet burps, though, so beginning to think maybe this is reflux after all. Other big concurrent symptoms are the dry cough and going back to frequent night wakings, and sounds like those could be related if it is reflux.

I did look up Sandifer's syndrome but the videos I found demonstrating it look like what I thought was normal baby behavior--flapping arms and legs, startling. Is that not usual behavior for a 4mo? (FTM here hoping I haven't been ignoring some big red flags!) How would I know the difference? Thanks![/quote]
