HELP! 15 month-old won't nurse today!

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

My 4th daughter has decided that today she won't nurse. Up until now she has been nursing 4-5 times a day very well. My supply still seems good. In fact, today she has refused all day and now I am feeling like I need to pump. My good boob is getting very full. My other 3 daughters weaned themselves around this same time (refusing, biting, pushing away, fussing) but I was really hoping to get this one to go until 2. Any ideas?

 

I am so sad that she just wants to quit so suddenly. Please help.

sounds like a strike. hang in there - this is NOT weaning.

 

do you have a pump? pumping will help to avoid mastitis and keep your supply up.

 

is she teething? sick?
