Won't nurse

The last two days my LO won't nurse well. She fights nursing, will come off repeatedly ,or just refuses all together. Knowing she hasn't eaten enough I try to give her a bottle of BM and she will take that. Does this mean she's over nursing or just a stage? Any ideas/suggestions?

    This same thing happened to me, but eventually we moved passed it. How old is your baby? I had a lot of problems with this because I gave my baby a bottle too early. For the first 2 months or so she had nipple confusion and would often refuse to nurse. I continued to pump to keep up my supply. As she got older she seemed more willing and able to switch from breast to bottle.

    I would use the slowest flow bottle nipple possible. I used the Avent Natural bottles with the newborn nipple.
