For the last few weeks she is constantly doing stuff like that. She's EBF so I just let her have a break and redirect her back on. She feeds way better at night and I think she's eating more at night because she's so distracted during the day. I'm hoping solids will help a bit </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-strike-sort-of#post-2320847 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 08:52:24 +0000 winniebee 2320847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@macintosh: I get a little supply dip around ovulation...I'm guessing that is it? Keep at it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-strike-sort-of#post-2320834 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 08:50:00 +0000 snowjewelz 2320834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It happens! DD def had a nursing strike around that time, I think earlier b/c I had gone back to work and she finally got used to the bottle. I just kept offering, and pumped when she refused and eventually she took back the boob! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-strike-sort-of#post-2320807 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 08:42:14 +0000 macintosh 2320807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: good point! A few days ago I was cramping and I was sure AF was on the way but it never showed up. Could have been ovulation, maybe? Also, last week when pumping I had an obvious supply dip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-strike-sort-of#post-2320558 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 05:54:59 +0000 FaithFertility 2320558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It can be so many things hang in there!<br /> @macintosh: Have you got AF back yet? When I did I could tell my supply was lower and DD was not a fan! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-strike-sort-of#post-2320550 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 05:17:09 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2320550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so sorry. It's really frustrating. The best thing I would say is do what you're doing. Also maybe spend some skin to skin time without nursing (maybe in the carrier without a shirt on). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-strike-sort-of#post-2320464 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 22:50:19 +0000 macintosh 2320464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DS is 5.5 months old and he nurses and gets supplements. He's been a fantastic and enthusiastic nurser since he was about a month old. I nurse before every bottle, about 5 times a day and 2 times at night he nurses back to sleep. </p> <p>The past few days he's been suuuuper fussy at the breast. He may latch only briefly, then he pulls off and cries and arches away when I try to relatch. At this point I give up and we give him a bottle, which he happily takes. </p> <p>I can't think of anything that is different lately, except he has been extra hungry at night and taking a bottle in the middle of the night, when he normally does not. He did seem to have some teething discomfort a few days ago, but that has subsided.</p> <p>Has this happened to anyone else? He does really well still in the middle of the night when he's sleepy, so maybe he's just distracted. I'm feeling a little achy, but that's probably because he's not emptying the breast (and there isn't much to empty). Manual pump, here I come :bummed: </p>
