BF moms - nursing strike?

We are out at my ILs. I nursed Mackenzie before we left home just before 3:00. She usually nurses every 3 hours. We pulled over just after 6 and I tried to nurse her. She sucked just long enough to cause my letdown and then came off. It is now 8:30 and i have tried several more times to nurse her but she just arches and turns away. It's been 5 1/2 hours and I'm starting to get worried. Any advice?

  • Brin went on a three day strike about a month ago. I just kept trying and pumps for every missed feeding. I also went topless around him a lot and didn't rreally offer but made it accessible lol.  Imfinallyngot him back on on the third day. It was no fun but perfectly normal around the 8-10 month range.

  • It could be teething maybe.  Julia never liked to suck when her gums were hurting her.

  • Ugh. She's doing it again tonight. Probably because she was up eating every three hours last night so now she's doing her long stretch. My boobs feel like they are going to explode and I didnt bring pump. Figures.

  • Sorry mama! I hope things normalize soon, I know how frustrating and upsetting it is. Hand express if you need to to stay somewhat more comfy.

  • I haven't experienced that but thought I'd suggest a long hot shower for the engorgement.
