Any Ideas?

For the last 4 nights, Reese will not BF before she goes to bed.  We have been following her normal routine: Bath at 7:15, BF around 7:30, rock & read stories until putting her in her bassinet at 8.  This has been working perfectly for awhile now.  For the last 4 nights, she is her usual happy self until it's time to BF.  She screams bloody freaking murder, & gets completely hysterical when I try to feed her.  She nurses fine all day long until that point.  I have gotten so frustrated the last few nights, that I finally just pump a bottle, & she eats just fine.  I have no idea what could be causing her to refuse the breast, and only at this time.  I have tried pumping a little bit & then feeding her in case I was too full & it was causing a forceful letdown, but this didn't help.  Tonight, we moved our routine up by 15 minutes thinking that maybe she was getting tired earlier, but it didn't help.  Does anyone have any ideas?  Has anyone else experienced this?  Maybe she is ready to transition to an even earlier bedtime?  I have no ideas!

  • I'm not sure why she would be doing that, but maybe just go with it for a while?Let your DH give her the nighttime bottle while you pump for a week or so an then try again? That's the only idea I have - GL!
