Baby refuses to nurse My 5 mo old has been refusing to nurse for about a week now ?? she just wants to take the bottle…

Update! We are back to our normal nursing routine! ??

Sometimes if babies get a bottle with a fast flow they might get frustrated when they nurse because your flow isn't as fast or you're not getting an immediate letdown. You could try hand compressions while you're nursing, or pump a little bit right beforehand, to help with those things. Here's info on breast compressions: https://www.breastfeedinginc.ca/informations/breast-compression/

This is about the time that they become more aware of what's going on. Your baby may be distracted or want to have to bottle so she can watch things better. You could try nursing her in a dark room to cut out the distractions.

This could also be a nursing strike: http://www.lalecheleague.org/faq/strike.html - make sure you pump to keep up your supply and don't give up!!!

Mine was like that when she started teething
