I had a lot of issues breastfeeding my first, and some my second two--in fact, this baby went through a little bit of what you are talking about--it had to do with him getting overstimulated, I think, which happens more as your family grows...it's better now. I just had to be on top of naptime, etc...which isn't so easy. So sorry you have to go through that and I am saying a prayer for you. gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16003845060111282460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7825862861569609473.post-20518807837407719422013-03-27T13:51:13.562-04:002013-03-27T13:51:13.562-04:00Hoping this resolves itself soon!

Sounds very difficult. While I have never had this particular issue, I have had others that are frustrating too. Somehow, something about this will become clearer to you in time.

I'm learning to accept what is and realize that this time in my life right now has to be very simple, very unscheduled and just to let go of so many expectations I have of myself and of my little babe. Praying for you and please know I'm just a phone call away if you need a listening ear.

She was tube fed and never learned to latch on. Even though the nurses insisted that she would get it she didn't. I finally decided after five weeks of trying (and crying) that it was time to give up. Best of luck to you...fingers crossed that Norah will come back around. flyingjenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10160022751157014548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7825862861569609473.post-61970133948499993612013-03-26T15:35:42.511-04:002013-03-26T15:35:42.511-04:00I also had a similar experience with my fourth.

At about3-4 months of age -the distracted nursing stage.It was a stressful time for me ( marriage was not good )and I still think perhaps she was aware of it.Like Therese above, it ended almost as abruptly as it began- thankfully she came back to breast and didn't wean until she was over 3.As a La Leche League Leader for 20+ years now I really hate the nursing strike calls and visits. You do feel often like a forensic investigator trying to figure out what is upsetting baby. Mom has just ovulated and milk taste is altered? too many visitors in the house? ear infection? most of the time you never figure it out conclusively- just support mom and baby and hope things settle back to normal soon.<br />I sure wish you both the best.cargillwitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06948839908080737239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7825862861569609473.post-37762863934793906012013-03-26T13:24:43.804-04:002013-03-26T13:24:43.804-04:00Oh, I feel for you.

She was an AVID nurser so it was baffling, and it did indeed go away. For her in particular I think two things were happening, she was so much more aware of her surroundings she was reluctant to get into the "milk zone" and get going, and she also didn't seem to have ANY patience to wait a minute for let down to start. I'm sure you are wracking your brain and have gone through every possibility, you have experience on your side. C'mon little Norah, we are cheering you (and your mama) on over here!!! I hope it is all sorted soon xoTheresehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08716002482059893398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7825862861569609473.post-46816222541264447282013-03-26T13:14:55.930-04:002013-03-26T13:14:55.930-04:00All the while you are trying to figure her out, SH...All the while you are trying to figure her out, SHE is trying to figure YOU out.
