LO isn't really BF much :(

I don't know what is going on really but for a few days now LO isn't really interested in BF. She will still BF at bedtime and also a few times through the night but not during the day. I was going to night wean soon but I don't think I'm going to if that is the only time she wants to BF. She hasn't even wanted to at her nap. Is she weaning herself, I'm sad about this :(

just wondering if other LO has done same thing TIA

    I'd guess that she's not truly weaning herself right now.  She's still pretty young for that (right at 1yo, right?).  She might just be super busy during the day and filling up on solids if you're feeding them to her fairly frequently.  It could also just be a phase or that she's not feeling well (cold coming on, teething, etc.).  I don't think I'd do anything just yet.  Wait it out and give her a few days.  Keep offering BF to her, especially if you can do it where there are as few distractions as possible.  Good luck!

    She's at a busy age - pretty normal.  If you want to keep going with BFing, then you'll need to offer more (try right before naps in particular).  Or if you are ok with weaning, then just let things play out.

    Does she get other milk?  If you want to keep nursing, I'd cut out any other milk she might get since that can replace nursing.  If you are ready to wean, then it doesn't matter.

    I'm not really ready to wean but I offer and she doesn't want it right now. I don't give her other milk she only gets water. I guess I will just keep offering and if she just doesn't want it anymore then mommy will need to be ok with that. I wanted to BF at least till age 2.

    I won't make any guarantees, but I'd be willing to bet that if you just keep offering she'll come around.  Like I said, she's pretty young to be weaning by choice.  Just try to keep yourself calm and from feeling frustrated about it.  She'll pick up on it, and it will just make the situation more difficult.  Hang in there momma!
