Having a crisses with dd right now she is holding a nursing strike! Just turned a year on th 11th and I don't want it to be over. Any advice? It has been a full 24 hours or more and nothing gives. Her older bro is almost 3 and is seeming to be following suite too! I've been pumping to keep up my suply and to not explode, but she just looks at it and stars to cry. She has been siick with strep and just started antibiotixs today, so I know part of it is pain.

Anyway I'm scared and sad and feel regected all at the same time. Is it over? How do I get her intressted again.

Thanxs all!

I think her being sick is making it so she doesn't want to nurse. Maybe the milk is hurting her throat? She's hungry for the milk so she cries because she wants it but not if it hurts her yk? She'll probably be wanting to nurse as soon as the pain is gone.

Hppe she gets to feeling better and nursing again.
