This rejection started since 23/12/05 and until now 3/1/06 he is still not
willing to get back to my breast when awake. I am really worried that he
is going to go off my breast forever. All the websites say that babies should
get back within days but this is not the case for me. Sometimes I can see
that he wants to suck desperately but when I offer him the breast, he will
start crying. He would rather suck his own fingers !! I sincerely
hope that with your help from your experiences with other mums, I will be
able to breastfeed him smoothly again. Is there any similar cases where the
babies reject the breast for more that 2 weeks and manage to get back to
the breast successfully ?

Yes, babies that have refused the breast longer than two weeks have still
learned to breastfeed. The key would be....is she still using the 4 bottles a
day? It's near impossible to break nipple confusion/preference and get calm
nursing established with the bottles still in the picture. Baby is old
enough to use a sippy cup with some assistance or even the edge of a regular cup,
for use when mom must be at work. With the elimination of the artificial
nipples and some stubbornness on the mom's part she can win this battle and have
baby back at the breast.
