MADISON IS ON A NURSING STRIKE!!
Last week she had a pooing issue.. which settled finally on Day 5.. after countless days of wondering and worrying.
This week is a more unsettling issue: NURSING STRIKE!
She is unusually fussy during feeding, sometimes refusing to feed.. yesterday was terrible... she fussed and fretted from the time soon after she woke, had a late morning nap and a good feed at 10 am then nothing significant until 4 PM! She would fuss every time she was put to the boob... but would be perfectly happy being carried or played with! IT IS DRIVING ME CRAZY!
According to websites and books its a common phenomenon that occurs between 3 and 8 months that sometimes results in weaning but apparently it is supposed to be a temporary phenomenon that make take days to weeks to resolve! AND IT DEFINITELY TAKES PATIENCE to wait it out, as well as a good breast pump!
I am hoping it will resolve soon with some sleep in between (this goes on at night too) ... it does feel like a rejection but I am the adult and should know otherwise!
