She is just about 9mo and i think she has started going off the breast, but im not sure, for a few weeks now she has started really fussing at every feed, she screams when i offer her the breast and when she does take it, its only for a minute or two and then she just arches her back and yells at me if i try to offer her it again, i try switching sides and she just yells more. If i left her to her own devices im not sure she would take much more then 5 minutes feeds once or twice a day at most. If she's getting to a point where maybe our breastfeeding relationship is coming to an end then i can accept that, but i dont want to jump to that conclusion unless im absolutley sure of course. I feel at 9 months she must be a little too young to be weaning herself of the breast?? am i wrong? is it something else? Im worried she may not be getting enough milk, as she has no milk from any other source. TIA x

Nursing strike?

Try feeding her when she is sleepy so pre or post nap

Kellymom has some good info about nursing strikes

I have read somewhere (not helpful, I know) that babies rarely self wean before 12 months so the likelihood is a nursing strike. Have you tried nursing in a different position?

I have thought about a nursing strike, but i thought they were brief strikes, this has been going on for a few weeks now, i will go and have a look at that kellymom and see if i can learn more, thanks guys Smile x
