Can teething cause a nursing strike?
« on: March 01, 2012, 16:34:58 pm »
DS2 is not feeding for long only feeds for 6 minutes or so. I can see that he is rubbing his mouth with his hand. DS1 started teething around 3 months old, at 5 months he already had 2! I gave him some Baby orajel and stops rubbing.




As you become more clear about who you really are, you'll be better able to decide what is best for you - the first time around

Hiya yes teething can def cause a nursing strike. But is he just doing shorter feeds? If so he's about the right age to be shortening his feeds as your supply is settling. Keep an eye that he is having plenty of wet/dirty nappies and gaining weight and he should be fine :)
