doesnt want the breast :(

January 19, 2010

all of a sudden, even with the nipple shield, lactaid, etc .. G-Anna has decided she wants NOTHING to do with the breast. :( We use breastflow bottles, which are closest to breastfeeding (have no choice but to use bottles at times because of our situation) and she has decided that breast is not best... :(

I am soooo bummed right now .. I will continue to try, yet the LAST thing I want is to turn this into a fight .. because that defeats the whole purpose of adoptive breastfeeding. :(

The way I coped with it was to not give any bottles, only the breast for a couple of days. I don't know if you can do this or not, or if you should, but rest assured, they all go on occasional nursing strikes.
