I have a 5mo DD who in the last couple of weeks has become very difficult to feed. It started with refusing one breast, wouldn’t feed on it for longer than a minute. This has now progressed to pretty much not being interested in feeding at all. Will latch on then turn head towards my lap (if feeding cross cradle) as to escape and get the nipple out of her mouth. She’s not distracted, I’ve tried feeding in dark room, white noise, music, distracting her etc but nothing is working. Even her overnight feeds have become the same. I’m worried she’s not taking enough in and that my supply will disappear if things continue this way. I have started pumping once a day after the morning feed. We have around 4 wet nappies and at least one dirty, usually two per day. I offer the breast regularly because she doesn’t show hunger cues anymore but even if it has been 3 hours since the last feed she still doesn’t seem interested. I’m really concerned and was hoping for some advice for the wise Mumsnetters.
Thank you.
