DS is 20 months and has always loved his booby. I still feed him to sleep for his day sleep and of an evening for bed and he asks for it several times a day. If I ask if he wants booby, the answer has always been yes!

Then, yesterday and today he has been acting really funny with b/f. I should say upfront, he is sick, but this has never ever impacted on his feeding in the past.

For one, he has actually been refusing booby. I ask him if he wants it and says "no" and shakes his head. If I ask again and sit down like I'm going to feed him he says no again and even pushes away, sometimes gets a little upset. He has never done this before. Then sometimes he actually does ask for booby, so I feed him, but he won't feed properly. He has a couple of sucks (literally, two or three) then just lies there with my nipple in his mouth not doing anything - not even suctioned on. If I go to take him off he has another one or two sucks and then lies there again doing nothing. I can take him off, and in the past this would have really upset him, but he doesn't seem too phased. Other times he might ask for boob, but lose interest before I even go to put him on.

I have managed one feed in the past day - today when he went down for his day sleep, but that was after many unsuccessful attempts beforehand.

I know that him weaning while I'm pregnant is a possibility, but I would have thought it's too early (I'm only 13 weeks) for my milk to have changed enough for him to want to wean???

And after having said all this, I know it could just be because he's sick, but in the past he has always sought booby for comfort when he's sick, not turned it down!

Any ideas, advice, similar stories, etc would be greatly appreciated!
