Jacob started to wean himself at about that age. I've always thought it was partly because I was pregnant too. But by the time he was 1 he just didn't want feeds anymore. The more I tried to offer, the more frustrated he got. I assumed that if he actually needed the milk, he would drink it, and accepted that that was it. He definitely hasn't suffered, he's a happy healthy little boy.]]> Sat, 07 Jan 2012 08:29:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41287&PID=1420770&title=11-month-old-starting-to-not-feed#1420770 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41287&PID=1420665&title=11-month-old-starting-to-not-feed#1420665 Author: T_Rex

could it be your period returning? That made things pretty weird for me for a bit last time. No other ideas sorry.]]> Fri, 06 Jan 2012 14:50:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41287&PID=1420665&title=11-month-old-starting-to-not-feed#1420665 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41287&PID=1420639&title=11-month-old-starting-to-not-feed#1420639 Author: Red

I can sympathise, my DD self weaned cold turkey at 13 months and it was heart breaking. I tried allsorts of things, but never got her to latch again. Thankfully I didn't have to feed her to sleep though which would make it harder. Was stressful enough as it was! I cried quite alot as went from having such a good BFing relationship to nothing at all.

How long has she been doing this for?

www.kellymom.com is a very helpful place to go for info as well.]]> Fri, 06 Jan 2012 13:17:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41287&PID=1420639&title=11-month-old-starting-to-not-feed#1420639 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41287&PID=1420626&title=11-month-old-starting-to-not-feed#1420626 Author: CJsays

It started for her nite feeds (I feed to sleep) she would start to suck for 1 minute then pull off and either chatter or suck her thumb. First nite it took me and hour before she would feed and sleep. Second nite we changed the bed routine (from bath to feed and sleep to bath, book reading feed then sleep) she got no letdown as she fussed too much - dry nappy in the morning but no night wake. Thirs nite took 14 mins for a letdown after 2 attemtps to get her to feed over 30 mins. Now today she pulled her night feeding stunt on her 1st BF this morning too, so upset! maybe this is her time to start weaning, at 11 months corrected age is too early! I ended up expressing as when i finally got her to latch when she was asleep she got no letdown this is so frustrating. worried how the afternoon one is going ot go no, i have no answers anymore. I rang LLL and they said to just try all the usual things, but from what i read on web 11 months is not unusual for babies to wean, and since she is doing it gradually it could well be. Gutted. I will still try my hardest but this really sux, anyone have any similar stories, ideas??]]> Fri, 06 Jan 2012 12:37:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41287&PID=1420626&title=11-month-old-starting-to-not-feed#1420626
