Baby rejects breastfeeding

[obladi]

Hi Ali, I have the teething gel however I dont see she has to much discomfort from the teeth. It's not cutting through yet.

In the meantime while she doesn't take any milk at all, do you guys have any suggestions in term of nutrition that I can give LO? Do you know any successful stories to get babies back to nurse again?
Thank you

Is she eating solids again now? High fat foods like avocado and and dairy are good subs if she won't BF. I'd just keep offering a variety of food though. She won't starve herself.

Hello, I've been thinking of you.
I agree with Ali re food. It's not uncommon for toddlers to eat v little for a few days whilst ill/teething and then they make up for it later. Just keep offering a variety but try not to stress about it or "push" the food too hard, as she may pick up on that. Better to just offer and let your dd decide if she wants to eat. You don't want to make it a power struggle.
