QuoteReplyTopic: refusing to breastfeed Posted: 30 September 2009 at 3:50pm
Since yesterday Kaelin has been refusing to bf, she had 1 side at 5.30am & didnt have another side until 8pm, today she had 1 side at 2am & 1 at about 11am.
How can i get her to start feeding again or how do i know that she only wants a bottle now?
Shes never taken a bottle before & we've tried offering them yesterday & today but still no luck. She has been drinking a bit of water throughout the day & isn't showing any signs of being dehydrated.
Any ideas would be great because im about to explode (sorry if tmi!)
Just offer at the normal times - it may be a nursing strike (2 or 3 days normally). There's not a lot you can do to make her drink. Express some milk off to make your self more comfortable (maybe try offering it in a sippy cup?)
Is there any chance that you are ovulating or getting your period? A friend of mine had real trouble with this with her DS and according to the LC she spoke to, she smelt different so for a few months, every time it happened she had to have a shower before she fed him . He adapted after a while!!
