Hi
My husband went to get my son after his nap on Sunday & he’s not used to that & freaked out. I then tried to feed him as I usually do after the nap & he refused. Thought nothing of it and tried later in the day as usual & he didn’t want that either.
Since then he’s only breastfed first thing in the morning when starving, none of the other times in the day.
I’m having to pump and feed him with a bottle but my supply is dropping & I'm struggling to keep up! Also he has a dairy intolerance so I can’t top up with formula.
He’s gone through these strikes before but never for this long & not point blank refusal like this!
He loves his food but obviously still needs milk! I don’t know whether to not give him a bottle today and hope he’s hungry enough to take the breast but I feel like that won’t work as he will never be starving as he eats his solids so well.
Has anyone got any good tips? Barring the skin to skin one?
I feed him when he’s just woken up so being sleepy isn’t working.
He’s 8 months so he has been getting less keen on his milk for a while but this is definitely a strike as it went from 5 feeds a day to now just one plus the bottle replacements!
Any advice would be great! I am getting blocked ducts and all sorts!
