Is this kind of a nursing strike?

9 month old DD has had a cold the last couple of days and done a few unusual poos, runnier and greenish. She's BLW and going great guns with it and has been producing normal poo for a bit so know this is unusual for her.

The thing is, she's now started to be a bit weird about BF. Today she had a feed at 5am, then nothing until 11am as she refused it at 8, I offered again at 3pm and she sucked a bit but not for long and pulled off when I got let down and did this again at 4pm.

So I tried expressing and giving her this in a cup and she drained the lot.

She seems to be very alert, chatty etc but surely this is not enough milk for her in one day?

She's also very hesitant to take down any water at mealtimes which is unusual.

What do I do?

Keep offering but don't force it. if she had a cold it could easily put her of feeding. maybe worth getting her ear checked to make sure she doesn't have an ear infection to.

A long as your relaxed about it and don't let her get stressed around feeding she should come back to it.

Well I gave her some dinner as usual and she ate it and laughed her way through it and then at bedtime she wanted both boobs which again is unusual.
