Re: breastfeeding refusal (Sally?)

[Guest guest]

My one son weaned himself suddenly when he was about 6 months, and I had to

do a quick job of teaching him to drink from a cup, as I remember. He just

didn't want to nurse any longer! I never knew why. I don't think there was

any problem with lack of milk.

Peace,

Hi, Jess--

I don't know about Sally's case, but my daughter, too, at about 8 months

had no patience at all for breastfeeding. She wanted to keep in motion!!

(She always had been a fast and impatient nurser, ready to get back to

play!) Yes, we were feeding her some solids at that time. Even now, at 2

years old, she happily drinks her milk from a sippy cup, on the run: run,

sip-sip, run, sip-sip...

Hopefully, we'll be able to give her all the nutrition she needs, one way

or another!

Good luck!

Sally,

I'm new to the group... so let me start off by saying " hi " to

everyone. (I'm actually beckymauldin2001's sister)

Anyway, I read one of your last posts regarding your daughter

refusing to nurse. Do you know if this was due to you feeding her

solids or anything else? Or did she just up and refuse one day and

that was it?

Thanks for your time! I'm trying to get my 7-month old back on track

but having not-so-great success!

Thanks-

Jess

Thanks, .

In regards to the topic on breastfeeding, teeth, and diet:

I was wondering, since it's been noted that someone thought it to be

not only diet, but also the sucking time that babies have that

increases palate and jaw size, whether bottle sucking helps with that

too?

I've also read a lot lately that once you introduce solids to a baby,

you should, at the same time, introduce a cup (I guess so they learn

to do both pretty quick). To me, this theory doesn't make sense with

trying to give your baby enough sucking time. Wouldn't it be better,

if unable to breastfeed, to give a bottle rather than a cup for

baby's palates sake???

Any thoughts?

Jess
