HELP! Is it a strike? Worried about my supply!

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
Hello all,

I really, really need help. My 12 month old is teething really bad and is refusing to nurse. He uses a pacifier and it is REALLY interfering with things, but we are out of town, he is cutting molars and I feel awfully bad taking it away from him right now. It's been two days and he has nursed less than half of what he normally does, barely at all in fact. He was nursing about 8 times a day and I think he nursed a little bit twice today and barely anything at that.Mostly he just sucks on his pacifier, which I am growing to HATE. I am so frustrated and I feel totally rejected, plus I am starting to worry about my milk supply. I don't have my pump with me and we don't get home for another four days!!!

Please give me some advice. I feel so bad. I know there are probably tons of posts about this all over the place but I can't find any of them.

Thank you to both of you. Actually we had a huge breakthrough today! He actually stopped playing, came over to me, and nursed. He has never done that!!!
