Regarding your query about a nursing strike following H1N1 
vaccination, I have no experience with this.  But ..... when I worked 
in private practice in Zimbabwe, I frequently worked with mothers 
whose babies were striking - and often following the Hib titre 
vaccination.  It happened so frequently, in fact, that it seemed to 
be much more than a coincidence.  I've no idea what the actual cause 
was, but definitely a Hib jab within the last 3 days or so seemed to 
be a risk factor.  I gave the normal recommendations to resolve a 
strike (I'll send these to you privately - rather long!) and they all 
did resolve in fact, but of course it was very stressful for everyone 
until the baby could be enticed back to the breast.

Best wishes
