Just need a bit of advice and encouragement please
Red has reached that stage where he just will not feed if there is ANYTHING else going on in the area, it is so infuriating! I bought a nursing necklace and it is has been working to a degree. This has been going on for a while, but just the last two days he has been terrible, and has barely nursed at all
He seems very happy though and not at all bothered by this! He is not teething (or at least if he is there are no other symptoms!). He is eating his solids well enough and i always (attempt) nursing before solids so i know that he is getting the milk he needs before solids on top of that. This is our routine feed wise, in case you spot anything that may help me:
8am wake and nurses
9am cereal
12pm nurses then solids (veggies)
3pm nurses
5.30pm solids (sometimes nurses too, but trying to cut this feed out)
7pm nurses
11pm nurses
What should i do if he doesn't nurse? Should i express? and if so should i offer it to him in a cup/ bottle or wait until the next time he is due a feed and try again then?
This is so frustrating, especially when he is just lying in my lap gurgling, instead of relieving my full boobs!! :roll: :roll:
