Breastfeeding help

[purrrrrr1999]

I've got 8m baby and we are doing solids. Baby is loving to eat. But has stopped wanting to take my breast. At first it was just one breast. But now it's both. How do I get baby to start feeding from me again? Or should I take this as the natural way of weening?

Is it ok to just stop breastfeeding altogether and only do solids at 8m?

Hi I’m fully breastfeeding my little one is almost 5 months and I started with veggies purée or porridge. She never had dummy and hate bottles…I try to introduce her to those two things but she is refusing them.

I know baby’s got them “favourite “ side but u saying now she is don’t want to drink at all…

I’m not a expert but I know I believe she still need a milk . Have u try pumping and give through the bottle ?

Sometimes she may refuse milk for a day or two or being fussy…like every baby do but I will definitely try give your milk thru bottle and see what happens…if she drink that mean she got fussy-nest period and all will soon back to normal. Try that x

Babies can go on nursing “strike” see link below

You could contact your health visitor for advice or la leche league?

You’d need to substitute the breast milk if baby has stopped feeding altogether - I don’t think you can just give cows milk to a baby under 1 year but your health visitor will know what you need to do?

Hope the nursing strike doesn’t last long could you try offering breastfeeds when baby is sleepy ?
