Hi all. Over the last few days my little bugger has turned away from the breast. Just refusing it - even when I know he's hungry because I can hear his little tummy grumbling. I've checked out the breastfeeding naturally book (endorsed by the ABA) and it can be for a myriad of reasons - I could be ovulating, I've eaten something he doesn't like, he's just plain fussy, he could be teething...... anyway you get the picture.

Cass - thats interesting.... havent had anything like that happen except if I have a backlog of milk in which case I need to express a bit as Ciaran wont always feed if there is a full feeds worth of milk in there (massive back pressure causes milk squirts!)
