I had a similar problem with my daughter. She is hypersensitive to dust and the normal soap/perfume allergies, but I also noticed that too many stimulants of any kind would cause a reaction, especially when feeding.

Usually it was a hair or sun in the eyes, but if you are still having this problem (bravo for the extraordinary effort-it will pay off)I would try stroking her head in a way she likes it in a low stimulation environment...low lighting, quiet, no wind, etc. Stroking her head will allow her to concentrate on that and feed naturally instead of being overwhelmed. Also, remember many times position will cause her nose to crinkle more than others...she may be to crunched in the face...MOST IMPORTANT...mama knows best! Best of luck!
