I don't understand babies. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-strike-at-bedtime#post-2348681 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 09:01:30 +0000 Adira 2348681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: I wonder if that's the case here. Maybe because I'm sick, my evening supply sucked and just annoyed him when he was tired. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-strike-at-bedtime#post-2348638 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 08:27:31 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2348638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: In our case, this was always when they were overtired and/or my supply was low and they were frustrated it wasn't coming more/faster. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-strike-at-bedtime#post-2348593 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 06:48:50 +0000 Adira 2348593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pumuckl: Yes, he mostly slept fine, although he woke up earlier than normal and cried until I fed him, so he was definitely hungry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-strike-at-bedtime#post-2348590 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 06:44:09 +0000 Pumuckl 2348590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: With LO1 his before bed nursing session was the first one he dropped when he was weaning. He went from manically searching one night to not wanting to in a day. Maybe Logan just doesn't need it anymore.<br /> Did he sleep fine? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-strike-at-bedtime#post-2348579 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 05:16:59 +0000 Nutella 2348579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: this sounds like my LO around 12/13 months. I didn't push it too much but as it was his last feed to drop, he fully weaned in the week after that! I was super sad but time-wise, it def helped the evening bedtime wind down process! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-strike-at-bedtime#post-2348577 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 04:33:19 +0000 Adira 2348577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ChiCalGoBee: Yeah, I know you're right and I shouldn't try to force it. It just makes me so sad when he refuses to nurse. :crying:</p> <p>Thankfully he is nursing like normal this morning! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-strike-at-bedtime#post-2348528 Sun, 08 Nov 2015 23:01:01 +0000 ChiCalGoBee 2348528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son turns one this week and seems to be in the process of self-weaning. Granted, I haven't nursed him to sleep in ages (we do a pumped bottle at bed to ensure a full tummy), but the other three nursing sessions during the day are getting shorter and shorter, or he'll even sporadically skip one because he doesn't feel like it. I know it's definitely hard for us :crying: , but I'd say if he is crying and refusing you then it might be good to let him take the lead on whether or not he wants to nurse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-strike-at-bedtime#post-2348523 Sun, 08 Nov 2015 22:52:28 +0000 Adira 2348523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSRS: Maybe I'll try the earlier bedtime tomorrow and see if that helps. He definitely was tired tonight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-strike-at-bedtime#post-2348513 Sun, 08 Nov 2015 22:24:32 +0000 MrsSRS 2348513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would try either just letting it go or moving bedtime 15 minutes earlier in case it's because LO is too tired. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-strike-at-bedtime#post-2348490 Sun, 08 Nov 2015 21:22:40 +0000 FaithFertility 2348490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Awwww.....<br /> And I understand 100% about loving the night time session!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-strike-at-bedtime#post-2348488 Sun, 08 Nov 2015 21:18:12 +0000 Adira 2348488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: He'll cry until I stop trying to get him to nurse, haha.</p> <p>@winniebee: Yeah, that's true. I just loved our bedtime nursing sessions, so I really hope he's not weaning! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-strike-at-bedtime#post-2348483 Sun, 08 Nov 2015 21:08:39 +0000 winniebee 2348483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: given his age I wouldn't worry too much and would probably let him eat whatever he wants at dinner in case he's trying to wean. But it's probably just a phase and he will be back to it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-strike-at-bedtime#post-2348479 Sun, 08 Nov 2015 21:02:25 +0000 FaithFertility 2348479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Huh?! I do the same as you at night some nights G turns away or pushes away doesn't cry so I just put her in bed, I am guessing she is full and way tired?!<br /> Does he cry long?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-strike-at-bedtime#post-2348474 Sun, 08 Nov 2015 20:56:54 +0000 Adira 2348474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: He didn't have a big dinner tonight, because was worried that that was the problem last night! He is getting teeth, but they didn't seem to bother him any other time, so I didn't think that was it... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-strike-at-bedtime#post-2348462 Sun, 08 Nov 2015 20:49:24 +0000 winniebee 2348462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hm strange. R sometimes decline nursing before his morning nap - he doesn't cry just pushes me away or turns his head and reaches for his binki. I figure he will let me know if he wants to nurse. And usually he's nursed within the 2.5 hours prior and has had breakfast so probably isn't hungry. </p> <p>Is he eating a big dinner? Getting teeth? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-strike-at-bedtime#post-2348441 Sun, 08 Nov 2015 20:23:44 +0000 Adira 2348441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The last couple days, Logan (11m) has been refusing to nurse at bedtime. He used to always nurse to sleep, but the last couple days, he just wouldn't at all. He would just cry and turn his head away whenever I offered him a boob. He nursed fine during the day (both when he was sleepy and when he wasn't).</p> <p>Any body have any clue what might be going on?</p> <p>Some recent details:<br /> * He's had a cold for over a week, but I think is getting better<br /> * I currently have a cold that started Thursday night<br /> * He got the flu shot Saturday morning </p>
