<div style="font-style:italic;">I agree.<br><br>
Change of medication can cause changes in milk.<br><br>
As he won't drink the EBM either it sounds to me like it is affecting the taste and he doesn't like it.<br><br>
As you did change the meds back I would keep offering. It might take a bit for the meds to get out of your system.</div>

He actually started taking EBM from a sippy cup (finally) on what...day 4? (one of my posts had that info). I know a sippy cup isn't ideal, but I am getting EBM into him and that's important to me.<br><br>
Wellbutrin has a half life of 12 - 24 hours or something like that. So, it's way gone now and he's loving it again. Just not from the tap. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/irked.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="irked">:<br><br><div style="margin:20px;margin-top:5px;">

<div style="font-style:italic;">But she did mention that her child is a very picky eater and to me that is a concern.<br><br>
Of course people recommend helping their children become more independant and AP is a large part of that.<br><br>
IMO, rejecting the breast AND EBM at the same time she changed meds implies that the meds are affecting the taste of her milk. Different foods can cause this as well as hormonal changes.<br><br>
For instance whenever I ate curry dd was all over me, curry bm made her crazy, I would just be cooking it and she would get a wild look in her eye. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/lol.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="lol"><br><br>
Babies do get irritated or annoyed when their BM isn't just how they like it. IMO, as her child doesn't eat many solids they aren't ready to wean. Also, her child is having a problem with a tooth which can definately affect BF.<br><br>
No one wants to force a child who is ready to wean to nurse. From what she has said, it doesn't seem as if her child is ready to wean but that this is a strike.<br><br>
All the advice on this thread is going off of her feelings and the information she provided, that this is a strike and not a readiness to wean.<br><br>
If a child is ready to wean NOTHING will make them nurse.</div>

He is a picky eater, but that is pretty typical of toddlers. This week is eating a nice variety. Not concerned this week at all with regards to solids. And yes, he's self-feeding. I put stuff out and he grazed whenever he feels like crawling over to where it is.<br><br>
I <i>am</i> still calling this a strike (it was abrupt, the timing was suspiciously close to the new meds, and being only 13 mos its pretty young....and he's got molars coming and was sick. Many reasons that he could've gone on strike. And I think you're right-- nothing can make a baby get back if they are truly done. I am still trying everything I can think of, although I will admit I am less optimistic and getting rejected time and time again gets a little old.<br><br><div style="margin:20px;margin-top:5px;">

<div style="font-style:italic;">I still remember the look my daughter gave me the last time I tried to nurse her at about a year. She literally pushed me away- with both hands and a very determined look. She's 18 now and not much I can do about it.</div>

That's what Miles looks like. Every time. You hit the nail right on the head. He acts like, "what don't you understand? I do NOT want any. Geesh, lady!"<br><br><div style="margin:20px;margin-top:5px;">

<div style="font-style:italic;">Curry is most definitely NOT too spicy for babies! My baby (and now toddler) eats exactly the same things we do, including the spicy stuff. Sure, I usually tone down the heat a bit for her with some cream or something, but in cultures which eat lots of spicy foods, the babies get fed the same things adults eat.</div>

Think Thailand, India, many other countries whose babes grow up on exactly what mom and dad eat. But, I digress...that's OT....<br><br><br><br>
Thanks pixiepunk <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/thumb.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="thumbs up">:<br>
It's 9 days now and he's still not going for the boob. I am pumping about 18 ozs/day, and he's eating about that much a day. kellymom.com says this is "normal" for his age, but it's much less than he was 2 weeks ago (all night feeder and 3-5/daytime)<br><br>
The molars are still in there-- none have erupted yet.<br><br>
Like I said, I am still pumping and <i>trying</i> to stay as optimistic as possible <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/redface.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Embarrassment"> but I am also trying to mentally and emotionally prepare for what may come. I must say that I am extremely proud to be <i>at least</i> still be giving him EBM during the day and will continue to pump as long as I can do so and still maintain my sanity.
