Hi all,

Update.  Baby is nursing on both sides now.  Mom feels that it was a one sided nursing strike in response to her telling the baby "no" when she bit.  Mom is not kidding herself though.  She is aware that the potential for breast CA is there and she plans to discuss this with her next OB visit as well as her upcoming well woman exam.  She will be vigilant with her breast health and is realistic.

Thanks for all your comments.  They reaffirmed my thoughts.  We are a great group.

It seems pertinent, given the mother's recent cancer history, to
extensively rule out the possibility of a cancerous tumor in the right
breast. Babies will sometimes refuse to nurse--or to take EBM from--a
breast that contains a cancerous tumor (the flavor of the milk can change).

Best,

Subject: one-sided breast refusal

Hi all,

PTP.  G2P2 Mother of 9 month old is experiencing biting and pulling away
with some breast refusal on the R side that started 3 days ago.  She thinks
it started when baby bit her and she startled baby with a "no" to the baby.
Baby will not bite L side and nurses very well on L side.  Baby will not
take milk pumped from R side either.  Mom states she was able to sneak baby
onto R side and sneak a bottle of EBM from R side when baby was very
sleepy.  She has also tried to start baby on the L side in cross-cradle
hold then slid her body to the baby to nurse on R side without moving the
baby at all but baby instantly pushed away.  Baby has 2 bottom teeth and no
evidence of new eruptions.  No recent illness in baby, is reaching all
developmental milestones, eats solids from the table three times per day,
nurses 6 times a day, takes 2 naps a day and sleeps 11 hours at night.  Mom
had cancerous tumor removed from kidney in December but is healthy
otherwise.  No complaints of peau d'orange, lumps or breast tenderness.

I suggested she continue to try to offer the R side as she has been doing
and continue to pump to maintain her supply on that side.  What am I
missing?

Thanks for your wisdom and time.
