It's been a week and my 3 month old daughter is still giving me hell while breastfeeding. She use to breastfeed not only because she was hungry but also when she was sleepy or just for comfort. I have taken anything new I drink lots of water I eat right. I don't understand what's causing this I just don't know if I should continue breastfeeding.

    I would continue it could just be a little nursing strike. My son did it briefly then he went through a stage where he wouldn't take a bottle as well. I would just keep putting her to the breast. Maybe see if she is teething, teething babies don't like to nurse cause it hurts their mouths. Try pumping and giving her a bottle if she won't nurse and is truly hungry. Good luck lady

    Here is a link from kellymom that might help. As long as she is still gaining weight and acting like her normal self I wouldn't worry too much. If you think there is a problem take her to the Dr or call your local lactation consultant.

    How are you and baby doing? Did she start breastfeeding again?

    Were good, she started breastfeeding again and now has slowed down but only because she thinks bob time is play time and if I look at her while she eats she starts laughing lol @brodysmamma

    Haha Brody did the same thing. It's funny the little games they play while nursing. :)
