My son went on "strike" when he was four months old. His strike happened to coincide with a busy time at work and when I was a little more stressed than usual. The best tips I received from lactation consultants were: -give baby 100% attention during a feeding. -take a bath with the baby (sounds strange but it worked for me) -plan for feedings to take twice as much time so you aren't as easily frustrated. -Pump, pump and pump if you are at work and trying to maintain a good milk supply. -try to eliminate other sources of frustration for the baby -finally, treat the baby like a newborn again. Many lactation consultants told me that a nursing strike is a way for a young baby to get more attention that he or she needs. Once I did this my son started to relax and enjoy nursing again. Good luck! You are doing wonderful things for your baby! 2/10/2007 10:11:04 AM jessica lines said: Having problems with this I beleive. I was ill in hospital and she was bottle fed for quite a while. Then I kept skipping my pumping. Which is a big no no. I guess stress is a factor. Alot has gone on these past three months. She was born just before christmas.
