Breastfeeding Strike

Kara

My 5 month old son has started refusing the breast in the last day or so. It’s very frustrating. This is the second time he’s gone on a breastfeeding strike. The last time it lasted about 3 or 4 days. I’m a working mom so I think he’s learned the bottle is faster and is starting to prefer it. I’m hoping this current strike will end soon. Until then, any encouragement, advice, or sharing similar experiences would help. I only have 2 more weeks of school and I was planning on nursing him all summer. I hope we can make it that long.
