breast refusal

I had my LO have a nursing strike at 8 weeks for four days but it was complete refusal I had to use formula. I would offer the breast at every feed but was told to not push it in case it created a negative association. She literally woke up one day refusing one side and by end of the day refusing both. She then woke up on the fourth day and was back to nursing. Was told it can be developmental or behavioural

This hasn't quite happened to me, but she gets too excited and start searching really hard for the nipple even though it's already in her mouth. I latch her on properly only for her to move and lose it again. It's been a struggle I've tried different positions for her and so far lying vertical helps my chances. But I breastpump for the most part as she was losing weight early and she just struggles to feed from my breasts.

I’ve got loads of breastmilk in the freezer if you’d prefer to give breast milk instead of formula if they refuse again? X

I’m at this exact stage too with my 15 week old. I need to pull him away and let him reset and stop crying and just have to keep trying again until he’ll drink. My right side had a very strong let down so I understand why he gets upset on that side. Sometimes I’ll just nurse on the left and put a haaka on the right and then use that milk in a bottle for him
