I see worse and worse nursing strikes when babies have the bottle as an option, especially if mom is in anyway a scheduling feeder or routinely limits time at the breast. I recommend cup feeding and lots of snuggle time and mom thinking from child's perspective. Mom plays detective, what is the baby trying to communicate.

> With permission to post, I'm looking for suggestions. Mom has an 11 month old who has nursed well up until a month-6 weeks ago when she had a nursing strike that lasted 2 days. We never figured out a reason on the first round mom just nursed her when sleepy and got her going again.
