Maybe try saline drops? I hope she feels better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-strike-when-baby-is-sick#post-567819 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 07:05:51 +0000 matador84 567819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's probably so she can breathe. Try decongestant drops if your pediatrician is okay with it. We went through the same thing when DS was 9 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-strike-when-baby-is-sick#post-567792 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 02:49:50 +0000 Kemma 567792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JessLC: Not to scare you but it could be that your LO might also be starting to teeth. Miss A had a really fussy feeding day / partial nursing strike at around 15-16 weeks and she's cutting a tooth at the moment. She's feeding much better now that the tooth is almost through (we can see it and expect it to cut this weekend) but as I understand teething can also make baby's ears hurt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-strike-when-baby-is-sick#post-567610 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 21:03:21 +0000 Pink Champagne 567610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe it's just the angle? I know when I'm sick, it can be hard to breathe laying down. Maybe poor thing is having a hard time and it's easier when she's propped up with the bottle?<br /> Hope your LO feels better soon! Sick babies are the worst! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-strike-when-baby-is-sick#post-567590 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 20:49:35 +0000 SleepyMonkey 567590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kemma: thanks. I was thinking it was something with her ears too :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-strike-when-baby-is-sick#post-567588 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 20:48:05 +0000 SleepyMonkey 567588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: again with the mysteries of babies! Eh. She had an ounce from the bottle and a little bit from the boob with some major coaxing (no sudden movements, inching her mouth closer to the boob). She fed for like 4 mins and then was screaming her head off again and she went down without a peep soon afterwards. Oops she just sneezed. I think she's awake :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-strike-when-baby-is-sick#post-567586 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 20:47:19 +0000 Kemma 567586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The sucking action at the breast could be hurting her ears maybe? I know a nursing strike sucks but it should pass pretty quick so hang in there Mama! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-strike-when-baby-is-sick#post-567527 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 19:41:20 +0000 immabeetoo 567527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe it's easier to breathe with the bottle?? That stinks hope she feels better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-strike-when-baby-is-sick#post-567500 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 19:12:27 +0000 SleepyMonkey 567500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO has a cold - runny nose, sneezing, watery eyes, a little fussy. She just refused to breast feed and would rather take a bottle, for the first time ever. I don't understand it...has this happened to anyone else? She is 15 weeks old. </p>
