Another nursing strike question-  

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
DS is 8 1/2 months old. He has one tooth that is still coming in and it looks like one on the way in. He seems to be uncomfortable almost all of the time. I've given him Tylenol a couple of times, but I don't want to give it every day. He refuses to nurse most of the day. He latches on, then pulls away crying. He will nurse in the tub, when he is super sleepy and he nurses all night long. His night diaper in the morning is soaked. But during the day his wet diapers aren't to wet. I've been pumping, but I'm getting a little worried because I'm not getting enough milk during the day- I've been pumping 2-3 times a day and getting 1-2 ounces at a time. I've been giving him the pumped milk in a sippy cup. He gets a small amount of solids in the morning and a small amount in the evening. I would like to do child led weaning, so I was hoping to nurse for quite a bit longer.
Do you think he's getting enough? He had an allergic reaction to formula, so I don't want to supplement unless I really need to. What else should I try?
Thank you!

Are you home with him during the day? If you are and if he nurses well at night, have you tried nursing with him laying down during the day? Also try lots of skin to skin contact. Have you read these kellymom suggestions?
