My LO was eating really good but the past few days he hasn't been eating right. He is not eating nearly as much and I can barely get him to eat once it is time. I had a hard time getting him to eat 3 1/2 ou. that I pumped the other night beause he wouldn't eat right and he usually eats that much or more. I am concerned there is something wrong but he still seems to be getting a descent amount of pee and poop diapers. I'm just concerned about his health. He seems to want to turn away from me when eating and he doesn't want to latch on right either. It seems like he is refusing my breast and even the bottle when I try it.
Hmm, could be a phase. Could be a nursing strike. I've no firsthand experience w/ that, but here's a bump.
Check Kellymom.com for nursing strike information.
Let him be! They know what they need. As long as you're changing enough dipes he's eating FINE.
What we think they should be doing isn't worth a hill o'beans.
