My LO was super gassy when he was a newborn-- had to burp him constantly and there was just a lot of on and off the boob for every feed. He's my second, feeding my firstborn was so easy. Anyway, I'm not really sure when it happened but I think maybe from those gassy days and all the burping and crying involved with that, he developed a bf aversion. I've only come across the term in recent googling but it seems to be exactly what he has! He arches his back when I offer him the boob and when I finally am able to touch the nipple to his mouth despite him squirming and fussing, he takes a few big gulps and then lets go shouting. It definitely doesn't seem like he's in pain. He just seems very annoyed with me whenever I try to get him to feed. He easily goes 6 hours or more without being interested during the day. Nighttimes have always been completely different. He has pretty much always woken up every hour during the night and often feeds. So I've known he's getting all his milk calories in during the night. He takes solids really well during the day. Needless to say, I'm exhausted from all the waking and feeding at night and finally decided to have a go at proper sleep training (3-5-7 method) because I'm desperate to have sleep again and all my other attempts have been cut short due to exhaustion/not being able to follow through because I hate to hear him cry. So I'm going to give it a go. We have done two nights now and it's going as well as can be expected. However, I was really hoping he would start taking milk better in the day but that has not been the case. So now I'm worried that he's not going to get sufficient milk because I'm no longer feeding him at night. For the last week I've been waiting till he's fallen asleep for his naps and then going in and doing sleep feeds. Which works but it can be tough to time it right and sometimes he doesn't nap properly afterwards. It just doesn't feel sustainable. I need advice! How did you overcome a bf aversion? I know now that I shouldn't have tried to force him to feed because that makes things worse, but I'm desperate for him to keep breastfeeding! I don't have the set up for pumping at all but I will turn to that if I can't figure this all out.
