DD is 11 months old and seems to be losing interest in BFing. Over the past week or so, DD has started pulling off the breast and reaching out for her cup of water (which is sat next to her cot ready for a nighttime drink if necessary). If I give her the cup, she drinks really well then goes back to the breast. She does this up four or five times during a feed. She also makes mmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm noises while feeding quite a lot of the time like she does if I don't spoon her weetabix in fast enough during breakfast. I think that she is getting frustrated with slow flowing milk. I've been poorly recently with flu and did get quite dehydrated for a few days because of vomitting. I also feed with a shield (always have done) and I'm wondering if this is finally catching up with me?
I'm really worried that DD is going to lose interest and that this will be the end of BF for us. Please help!
