my 6m old doesn't want to eat

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
It's been 2 days where he's hardly breastfeed. He'll eat pretty well at night, but not in the day. We started solids a couple weeks ago and he'll eat that without a fight. I think he finds nursing too passive. He would rather jump and play than eat. I'm not sure what's going on.

Sounds like a nursing strike. www.kellymom.com has some great info - just search 'nursing strike'

are you spoon feeding purees, or letting him self-feed? Spoon-feeding can cause early weaning/nursing strikes as well.

Also, could he be sick, or have an ear infection?
