Nursing strike 3 months

Did anyone here experience their baby suddenly not interested in breastfeeding around 3 months and instead preferring bottles? My LO is screaming when I bring her near the breast to feed and will only take a bottle

How long did your breastfed baby take to get back to birth weight?

I have just had my 5 day appointment and my baby has dropped 9%. I've been booked for a reweigh on Monday and told if she's lost more we will be sent to hospital. I said that's fine but I will refuse any feeding plan as I was put on one last time ( triple feeding) and it made my daughter projectile vomit and my mh plummet. She then asked if I had through about pumping and I said no I won't be pumping 5 days PP and 1 day after my milk has come in. Honestly the whole appointment has left me so angry at the pressure they put on us to get back to birth weight in 10 days. My partner also said she was weighed wearing a hat and blanket ( I had a c section so couldjt se)

Colostrum

How much colostrum should I bring with me to the hospital? I’ve got about 20ml but don’t want to take all of the syringes with me as I know I won’t use them all. Thank you 😊

A constant loop

Has anyone else felt like the days are flying by? By the time I get my son up, dressed and first bottle. He’s back down for a nap and everything repeats itself with a bit of play time during wake windows.

I feel like I’m constantly counting down each nap and bottle then before I know it, it’s time for bed again.
