I have a 4 month old who is going through what I think is a feeding strike. Does anyone have experience of this or anything you did that worked???
She also has a sore tummy after/during feeding as well which isnt helping...

Hey there
We only had a small strike a couple of times here - the odd afternoon/evening feed some one suggested a dream feed in the evening if you are worried about dehydration. Hopefully she'll stay asleep and drink away happily. Sorry, no other suggestions though.
Hope it passes soon.

Here is an article from a great breastfeeding site, all about feeding strikes, and things to try:

http://www.kellymom.com/bf/concerns/baby/back-to-breast.html - Nursing strike

I remember at that age my first son would be quite fussy on the breast due to sore gums just before his first tooth came through. Luckily perseverence saw us through it.


All the best :)
