Nursing strike
(4 Posts)
Kellymom has lots of good info on nursing strikes here.
But, mostly don't panic or stress over the strike, if you try to force her to nurse (as opposed to provide her with opportunities to nurse if she wants) it will probably reinforce the strike rather than break it. Strikes can last for 2 weeks or more (not always though - she may be back to nursing tomorrow with no problems) so patience is necessary when dealing with a striking baby/toddler (you can rant to OH or friends or MN if needed
).
Thanks Truthsweet - she's back on board :-) I managed to catch her last night when she was dozing off and she went for it!
Phew
