Breastfeeding

Dropping a feeding?

DD get's 3 bottles a day and I BF twice after work.  For awhile now it is a hassle to get her to nurse.  She unlatches repeatedly and the only way she will relatch is if I switch the side she is on, but she will happily latch on for a a few seconds.  This could process could go on forever. 

When I feed her around 4ish she may stay latched on a minute or two before pulling away.  However at her feeding before bed, 7ish, she will hardly stay latched for more than 15 seconds.

I used to love nursing and saw it as a wonderful bonding experience but DD has me so frustrated I'm ready to turn to bottles.

Is she weaning herself from the breast?  Is she dropping a feed on her own?  Has anyone else gone through this?

(For what it's worth, she usually feeds well in the morning when she's hungriest and I'm "fullest" but usually gets a bottle because I leave early for work.)

  • I'm on my phone so I can't see how old your lo is, but dd increased the amount of time between feedings after we started solids. She now bf morning, night and before after naps. She is a yr old. Sometimes we nurse more as well.
