Prefers bottle over breast now!
« on: July 01, 2013, 03:21:10 am »
Yikes! My 10 week old has essentially stopped wanting to nurse.  I'm so sad! It came on all this week.  I'm going to continue pumping for 2 weeks and see how it plays out - but I'm really disappointed.  Not taking a bottle is NOT an option because I'm going back to work in a week - but I was hoping to maintain both. 

Anybody else experience this?  Once they refuse the breast for the most part do they ever go back?  Again - I can't cut bottles completely.

I have no BTDT experience but there is a wealth of ideas in this FAQ on how to deal with a nursing strike. Is my baby weaning or is it a nursing strike? Have a look and see what techniques you think would best suit your situation. Let us know if you have any more questions on the FAQ.


And hopefully others will share similar experiences :)
