Nursing strike?

Question

My 11 week old started refusing the breast yesterday but will take the bottle. Anyone had this happen? I emailed my Lactation consultant and haven’t heard back. Not sure what to do in the mean time. Ive been pumping and giving him the bottle. We tried spoon feeding the milk and it didnt work too well....: HELP!!!

Answer

I would continue to try the breast. My daughter can be visibly upset sometimes and flat out refuse to eat for a bit, but I just wait about 5 minutes before trying again and again and then she’ll latch. Obviously if ya not working, give the bottle so babe doesn’t go hungry, but then definitely go in to see the lactation consultant physically if it’s still not taking.

Answer

My 11 week old just started this!!! She won’t latch on at all now and gets fussy when we try I’m going to try and find a lactation consultant too
