Lactnetters: I am writing a small piece for a parenting magazine, on nursing strikes, and they would like me to include a quote from a pediatrician. If anyone feels motivated and willing to answer one or all of the following, I'd appreciate it: ( I did not make these questions up - the magazine did,) :what happens to the baby if a nursing strike is not handled properly? :what is it about teething discomfort, stuffy noses, or ear infections that trigger nursing strikes? :when are children no longer at risk for nursing strikes and/or why do they outgrow them? Feel free to "plug breastfeeding" as part of your answer. Thanks in advance. Judy Fram,( yes, Chris I'm at it again,) Brooklyn, NY [log in to unmask]
