Dear Lactivist – Any suggestions to survive a nursing strike (emotionally too!) with my baby girl who is almost 10 mos old? It was sooo sudden, unprovoked by anything I can think of . . . and really hard on both of us. Thanks!Y
Hiya
Strikes are not nice, hope it passes soon for you. This might help a bit?

Hi,
I wrote a little bit about strikes here:

Sorry I can’t offer any more personal advice. I’m actually struggling with a bit of breast refusal from my little one at the moment. If you find any solutions that work for you, please post back!

I remember T having nursing strikes and I was totally bereft, I felt dumped! And uncomfortable, not a good look
This is the link to kellymom.com about babies that don’t want to breastfeed, I found it very helpful. They say that self weaning rarely happens before 18-24 months which is comforting.

Have you tried a nursing necklace? It might help focus her in the right direction which could be a start.
