Breastfeeding problems with 9 month old, refusing bottle, and decreased milk supply?
I breastfeed my daughter exclusively for 6 months. My supply was never overflowing, but she was always above average in weight. Toward the end of the 6 months I felt my body was not producing as much milk at night, so I was happy when we could supplement with solids at 6 months. She was a great mashed food eater for about 3 months, and then about 1 week ago started refusing most solid foods. She’ll eat cheerios, but that is about it. Rather, she has reverted to wanting to nurse all the time. Problem is my milk supply has decreased substantially since I started her on solids.
I have tried to nurse her longer so that my milk supply will come up, but she gets so frustrated when the supply stops that she starts screaming, hitting, and kicking out of sheer frustration. On top of that, she is refusing a bottle and will only take a few sips from the sippy cup before refusing that too. Any advice on how to get the milk supply up again or why she is suddenly refusing solids?
((hugs)) mama. This can be very frustrating. Is she teething? Has she recently been sick? Have you tried not mashing her food? One of my kids stopped eating the mashed stuff in favor of things with more substance, so I started giving her soft cooked carrots and other veggies, lean tender cuts of chicken and beef and the like. Maybe some crackers?
As for building your supply back up, there are a few things you can try. Eat oatmeal if you like it. The real stuff, not the instant stuff. Drink Mother’s Milk Tea, usually available at a health food store or some grocery stores (like Kroger, Whole Foods and maybe Walmart). Take fenugreek caps, also available at your health food store. Drink lots of water. Keep yourself hydrated. Here’s a good link with other stuff too – http://www.kellymom.com/herbal/milksupply/herbal-rem_a.html
