Thanks girls for your helpful suggestions. I'll have a read of kellymom when both are in bed later .

I think I'll stick with it for now & keep offering it. I just worry that he's only having the one proper feed per day & that it's not enough for him. He does eat a lot of food & drink water so I guess he's ok in that respect.

I'm one of the lucky ones & got my period back when Olie was not quite 4 months old. It is due in a few days so I wonder if that's a factor.

Thanks again ]]> Fri, 11 Jun 2010 11:00:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33975&PID=1059965&title=help-what-is-he-doing#1059965 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33975&PID=1059738&title=help-what-is-he-doing#1059738 Author: Chickoin

AF can make them fussy, changes the taste of the milk I think.
He may be going through a nursing strike which can happen when they are teething.
Have a look at this link it has some great tips so you can get back on to track with feeding.
It is emotional, it is hard not to feel rejected when your baby won't drink your milk. Try your hardest not to take it personally.
It is totally up to you if you feel you are both ready to wean.]]> Thu, 10 Jun 2010 23:55:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33975&PID=1059738&title=help-what-is-he-doing#1059738 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33975&PID=1059716&title=help-what-is-he-doing#1059716 Author: AandCsmum

Oh that age....I think it's a phase!

I fed lying down in another room til we got through it. Also I think that is around when we dropped the mid day feed and it was pushed to mid arvo feed.

Also do you have AF back & if not maybe that's what's happening?

I know that it's hard around that age but you can get through it. I think I just had to tell A that she had to wait until I was done as he was so distracted. She didn't mind once I explained to her properly & then she got to watch TV ]]> Thu, 10 Jun 2010 22:40:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33975&PID=1059716&title=help-what-is-he-doing#1059716 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33975&PID=1059573&title=help-what-is-he-doing#1059573 Author: fire_engine

That sounds so familiar but it coincided with increased bottles and me going back to work so we flagged it

What do *you* want to do? If you want to keep going, then I'd contact LLL for some advice and tips on how to keep going.

(and I've just re-read and seen you'd like to keep going) ... in which case, I'd get some advice and try for a couple more weeks. It may well be a phase and persisting for a bit more will get you through it. And if that doesn't work, at least you'll know you've tried (if that makes sense)]]> Thu, 10 Jun 2010 20:55:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33975&PID=1059573&title=help-what-is-he-doing#1059573 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33975&PID=1059468&title=help-what-is-he-doing#1059468 Author: sally belly

I was wondering if it was an age thing as my first born did the same thing around 7 months. I ended up weaning him as I was going back to work anyway.

Feeding in a quiet room might work but I have tried that & he still wants to look around because there are new things to look at

It is rather annoying ]]> Thu, 10 Jun 2010 19:51:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33975&PID=1059468&title=help-what-is-he-doing#1059468 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33975&PID=1059426&title=help-what-is-he-doing#1059426 Author: Flutterby

Cody started doing that around that age as well. He would feed well during the night and in the morning but hardly at all during the day. Ended up giving a bottle before bed and then slowly weaned him. More often then not he just wanted to see what was going on around him.]]> Thu, 10 Jun 2010 19:13:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33975&PID=1059426&title=help-what-is-he-doing#1059426 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33975&PID=1059376&title=help-what-is-he-doing#1059376 Author: sally belly

Up until 6 days ago Ollie was a great BF'er & we were crusing along nicely. He was having 3 BFs a day. 6 days ago he wouldn't feed at lunchtime & I didn't think much of it. It has now got to the point where he'll only feed first thing in the morning & I can't get him to have anymore feeds for the rest of the day . He just won't have a bar of it.

I suspect he may be teething & he has been biting me a fair bit too. Other than that I really can't think of any other reason why he's suddenly gone off it...

I would like to continue BF'ing but am finding it a real (emotional) struggle at the moment what with the complete refusal & biting

What would you do? Persevere or flag it? He hasn't had a bottle since he was tiny so I'm not sure if he'd take one or not...]]> Thu, 10 Jun 2010 18:41:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33975&PID=1059376&title=help-what-is-he-doing#1059376
