Hi
My DS is 8.5m. Exclusively bf until blw at 6m. He eats like a horse now (3 big meals a day and healthy snacks inbetween) I have been continuing to bf him, but now I am back to work so had to cut his day feeds out. He was a bottle refuser, so hv suggested a tippee cup. Working like a dream. He has ff with lunch. But now he is rejecting bf in the morning and night and dream feed. So I am so worried I'm not giving him enough milk during the day to counteract this bf refusal. Help!! How much ff do I need to give? Do I try a bottle?
Any advice very much appreciated as its really stressing me out, and I don't want to do the wrong thing. Xx

Sounds like a nursing strike, too.young to self wean.

I wouldnt bothet with a bottle, just offer him.feeds, try dif positions, in the bath, when sleepy etc.

Have a look on kellymom who have good info and also the annalytical armadillo and leakyboob on fb are good :)

Is he teething? Or it coukd just be the change in routine if he has recently started at chikdcare etc. Fingers crossed he is feeding again asap xx
