My DS has become less and less interested in bf over the last few months. He has fed in the morning ok(ish) mostly but his feed at bedtime has reduced to about 3 sucks, he just doesnt want it. If he ever wakes during the night (rare) then he will feed no probs. Now the morning feed seems to be getting shorter and shorter too. This is all over a period of a few months so I don't think 'nursing strike'. Probably not teeth related either. No other changes to food/routine (ha).
I am in a bit of a quandry as I am keen to feed at least until 2yo, although I also try to follow a baby-led approach and feel like maybe I am trying to force him to feed when he just doesn't want to which sort of goes against this.
He never 'asks' for a feed, and would refuse if offered during the day, even if he hurts himself or whatever, has always been a quick feeder and definately not what you would call a 'milk monster'. The longest feed we have EVER had is about 15mins, EVER!
Not sure what I am asking really. Sorry. Just feeling a bit :(
