refused me this morning
« on: April 23, 2011, 06:58:53 am »
Dylan reused to feed from me this morning. :'( What do I do?

 She had a small feed at 4. One side only and it was the side with lesser supply so she couldn't have got much then.She woke for the day at 6.30 and refused at 7. Tried again at 7.30, nope. She ate her breakfast fine at 7.45.

 She is having a fair bit of solids but I offer them only 30-45 mins after BF as she was really filling up on them.

 I have been thnking of stopping and been so unable to decide what to do but my heart will break if happens because she refuses it as selfish as that sounds.

Oh Emma! *hugs*

You can't force her to BF if she really doesn't want to! It would be more selfish if you did..

Just make sure she's getting enough fluids in this hot weather  :)

*hugs again*

If she's eating her solids ok and drinking plenty of fluids I wouldn't worry, keep offering the breast as usual.
You can try to offer before a solids meal...

 I always do offer BF first.

 She didn't take much at all. 1 half decent BF all day yesterday.
