DD is almost 8 months, and we are in week 4 of nursing strike. She stopped BF almost overnight, and cried/arched away if I tried to hold her near anywhere my breast.
There has been some v slow progress - I can now hold her near my breast (as long as not in nursing position), and she is now playing with my nipples, and twice has leant forward to bite them !
But still no signs of her wanting to feed. I am giving her EBM from a beaker instead. We have tried a bit of co-sleeping (not too keen to go down this road, given she sleeps well generally), bathing together, skin-to-skin, and generally relaxing - think this has helped.
But not sure where to go from here? And has anyone else known a baby come back to breast after so long? I am feeling that this might be it
