Has anyone had this happen to them?
My 10mo was feeding fine, probably 3 or 4 times in a 24 hour period when a few days ago she started to take a few sucks then unlatch, biting me with her new teeth as she did so, and then cry. I probably squealed the first time which may have scared her. In any case she won't go near the breast any more, arches her back and cries. Or gets as far as opening her mouth ready to latch and then it's like she changes her mind about it, 'no, not that again!'
I've tried expressing and giving it to her in a bottle but she just pushes it away.
The only luck I've had is last night I fed her as she slept in the night as I was so engorged.
I don't think she's self weaning as the change is so abrupt and she's still quite young. Any ideas? It's quite distressing as she clearly needs the milk, she just cried herself to sleep (with me soothing her), her poos have gone hard and isn't weeing a great deal. Is eating food and drinking water fine.
Will this sort itself out over time or is this the end for her and milk?!
