ds been having a big breastfeed first thing in morning with a don't offer/don't refuse approach for rest of day-usually means 2-3 additional short feeds a week. he has always had a prefferred side, with a couple of occaisions of left breast refusal needing rugbyballing etc to get us back on track in the past.
last couple of weeks i feel a bit unsure what is going on-don't want to stop feeding, but equally don't want to not listen to ds. some mornings, usual lovely long feed, both sides. then a run of left refusal-sometimes without latching on at all. refusal shown by headshaking, even crying. couple of times really really tearful-next day all fab again.
is it pregnancy? teething? toddler wanting to choose/control? self weaning? am remaining calm, still positive mummy-bed morning cuddle/story times, just often sore boob after 2-3 days refusal, want to be responsive to ds but so confused!! more hand down top comfort moments too
sorry so long, thanks for reading
