My dd has just started almost refusing the breast and its really upseting me. For the first 15 weeks shes been feeding fine (after a sticky start) but in the last week she first started just 'going off' the right breast but now its either-she'll feed for a few mins (sometimes up to 10 or 15) then she'll pull off cry and won't go back on so i try her on he other side and she'll go on for a bit and then do the same, but a couple of feeds a day she won't do it at all!
I really don't know why shes doing it and it really worries me, especially as she has always been a very slow and lazy feeder usually feeding for an hour a time! So now i'm worrying she's not getting enough.
Or has she very suddenly started getting her fill very quickly and then i'm trying to get her back on when she really doesn't want any more?
Any help or advise would be really appreciated as its starting to get me down a bit as i'm worrying and most feeds feel like a fight.
