Nursing strike?

Christine

Hi mamas!

I was hoping anybody might have some first-hand advice for me. My boy is 10 weeks old and lately has been refusing my breasts during the day. He dream feeds all night and into the morning but come the afternoon when he’s alert he seems to only prefer a bottle. I don’t want this to affect my supply and I guess I should see this as a blessing since I will be returning to work in a couple weeks. I want to make sure he doesn’t stop breast-feeding altogether. I’ve had some luck trying to catch him when first waking from a nap. I have a nipple shield but haven’t used it yet. Any tips on how to get him back to breast are appreciated!
