The nursing strike - pretty sure it's weaning.
Well, it has been 10 days now since the small child (coming up 15 months)
refused to nurse (from 3 X a day). She now shows no interest in the breast, is chowing down on solids (and actually demanding food, which is a first for her), and is drinking heaps of water (my biggest concern when the 'strike' started was her lack of fluid intake). She seems back to her old self after her illness, and now insists on eating her meals on my lap, from my plate, and she snuggles like she used to do when nursing. Seems pretty terminal to me. But I've accepted it now, and the big bonus is that her poos are now a lot more solid, and the nappies don't need nearly as much scraping! So thanks heaps for all the advice - I'm still going to keep pumping till the tooth comes through - just in case, but I have no expectations any longer of getting her back to the breast. Cathy |

Well, you are definitely one of those people who can find the silver lining in every cloud! Seriously, hugs on her weaning so abruptly on you, I know that is an emotional kick in the pants (Sorry, I wish I could think of a nicer expression, but I can't). Well done to you for nursing her for as long as she wanted to. It would be great if every child could nurse as long as she did. -- Cheryl S. Mom to Julie, 3, and Jaden, 6 months |
