Dd is 19w, over the last couple of weeks she has been refusing the boob on and off, and getting herself into a real state with it. Sometimes she will take the left after refusing the right (it's a bit duff, milk doesn't come out very fast and not a lot of it) but the last 3 days she has flat out refused boob between 3pm and 8pm when she happily has her bath and then will have both boobs before bed. This morning she also refused boob after waking up when she is normally fine.
Ive been refusing to get stressed, trying a couple of times and if she's refusing but clearly hungry, I've made her a bottle which she has guzzled at a rate of knots. We have also started weaning this week and she's taking to it very well.
So on the whole I'm not fussed if she doesn't have boob all the time, I'd rather she did because it's better for her nutritionally and frankly I can't be arsed with bottle washing and formula faffing.
After all that waffle, what I'm wanting to know is could this just be a phase or has she decided that boob is too much like hard work (she is ptt and lip tied) and the bottle is easier, could it be to do with the weaning? Has anyone else any suggestions why she is refusing only at certain times? If she suddenly decides she wants boob full time again will my supply come back?
