DD refusing BF - phase or time to give up?

[YBR]

DD2 has been mainly BF up to 6mo, then just once a day (I went back to work and don't express) to now, 10mo. Last few days she's not been interested in BF.

Has anyone any experience which might help me decide if it's temporary or time to stop altogether?

She eats 3 good and varied meals and has formula milk during the day.

No experience but from threads on here it seems they can just decide they don't want it anymore from 9 months to 3 years.

At 10 months, it's probably a nursing strike. So she might not be interested now but could be very keen again tomorrow.

Babies very, very rarely self-wean before they're well into toddlerhood. Nursing strikes are pretty common, though.

So what do you want to happen? If you want to keep bfing, keep offering - there are still benefits for you both at 10 months, even if it's one feed a day. If you want to stop, don't offer - you will both adapt.

I didn't experience it because I breastfeed my DD up to 3 years old.
but she already eat solid foods that time, I think she just want to breastfeed when she wants to sleep.

DD1 went on strike at 9mos which coincided with when I was pregnant with DD2.

DD2 stopped showing an interest at 11mo.

I'd never heard of nursing strikes until today!

By then, with both of them, I was back at work and, in the case of DD1, they were feeding evening and morning and in DD2's case, just morning. I guess my supply just went too low or something. In both cases, I was happy enough to let them stop.

They were both given solids to play with at 23 weeks (so not early) and received no formula until they were 8 months. Had to go the formula route as I couldn't freeze my milk (too much lactic acid - vile even if scalded and frozen immediately) and with DD1, I didn't pump enough daily to be confident there'd be enough to feed her.

My DS1 (now 17 ??) flat out refused me a week short of his first birthday. Simply not interested, had a beaker after that!

DD continued to refuse so has switched to having a bottle for the morning feed. A bit of a relief in the sense that I can now take some medications I've been avoidting, but also a pity.

I feel that the idea that a baby doesn't self wean until older is a bit false since the article effectively says except when ...
milk supply is low (tick),
baby is eating plenty of solids (tick),
drinks from a bottle also (tick),
has limited opportunities to BF(tick),
and so on.
