8 month old won't bfeed anymore? What if she doesn't get 1 pint a day?

[amiandlils]

A few weeks ago my lovely 8 month old dd started refusing formula or ebm from a bottle. Stressed a bit at the time but accepted it and just hoped that she was getting enough milk from her morning/night bfeeds.

But she now won't bfeed at all either. Am really worried about a) her fluid intake and b) calcium.

Not sure if its a phase or whether she has decided to give up herself? Really didn't want to give up bfeeding yet and I'm so distressed about it.

Has anyone experienced the same thing?

Kellymom has an interesting section you might find useful.

And specifically this bit

It does sound like a nursing strike at this age, kellymom has soon good advice

Thanks so much - I think you are right. This sudden refusal to bfeed does sound like a nursing strike.

I think I will post another thread with a new title to see if I can get some more advice.

Thanks again x
