Issues at 9.5m

TeacherVicky · October 2014

For the past few days, DD hasn't been nursing well. She's never been great at breastfeeding to begin with, but I'm starting to worry about my supply.

I think the problem is that's she's teething (I think). She has refused to nurse on the left side since yesterday morning and doesn't nurse very long on the right. She's not even eating very well (solids). She seems to be spitting everything out after moving it around in her mouth a bit. I tried pumping this morning after her nap (after she refused) and I didn't even get an ounce (I know the pump is not as efficient as the baby).

She nurses 4x a day; in the morning, after each nap and before bed. She's been nursing 4x a day for about 2 months now, with no supply issues (my son did the same starting at 6m and nursed until he was 13m).

If things don't change my Thursday morning, I do plan on calling our dr to see if there is anything else going on.

Should I be worried about my supply? Should I consider taking anything?

I think that if it's one side issue I would wonder of maybe her ear is bothering her on that side ? Any fever or other symptoms of getting an ear infection ! Sometimes babies go through a nursing strike at this stage too she might be going that just keep offering and it will fix itself
