My baby is 10 1/2 months old. I usually feed morning and at bedtime and he gets 100-150ml formula in the afternoon. Yesterday he refused the left side in the morning then last night refused both sides. He didn't have any this morning as I was away but when I got back before lunch I offered and he refused again. Is this a nursing strike or self weaning? I looked on the Kelly Mom website and they said self-weaning is rare under 12 months. I have no idea what would have triggered this as nothing out of the ordinary has happened. He could be teething but he's never gone on strike before and he has 8 teeth now. He has had a cold but he's through the worst of it and fed fine when he was in the middle of it earlier in the week.
He eats well, I'm wondering if he's just not that into milk now? He takes formula in a beaker, and I'm worried that even if I go along with the weaning that he won't get much daily as it's not like he'll gulp a bottle down.
I expressed earlier and only got 60ml -which also makes me wonder if my supply is low. I only got 30ml on the FULLER side! (one side always seems/looks fuller). DH said it could be handy and why not just go along with the weaning then we don't have to worry about trying to wean him off in 6 months or so but I don't want to assume he's self weaning if it's only a glitch.
