its a hard one lis.. maybe other mummys can help you more than me. but i think that you need to look at Wednsday and what signals shes giving out? if she interested in you eatting then maybe you need to just add to your milk, by giving a little bit? afterall she is the size of a 6 month old, maybe she needs more? ur her mummy and u kno if she needs more

these are the teats i was on about u can use them on a bottle she might like munching on it.. i think u can get colourfull beakers these days with soft teats, worth a go??

She's just an intelligent baby who's fascinated with the world! Austin went through the same thing, I sometimes had to put a blanket on his head to get him to concentrate unless we were on our own, on our sofa with the TV off!

Austin used to feed for a maximm of 3 or 4 minutes at a time from about 3 or 4 months old, then have a 5 minute break & want more & so on. It's a pain but unfortunately may not go away. If she's really hungry she'll eat so don't stress to much about it. It's not that she's losing interest, she's just worried she'll miss something interesting if she's only got mummy's boobie to look at.

Just think of it as a sign of intelligence :wink: :hug:
 
Oli went through this stage, shes just content and happy, and learning about whats around her.

I would certainly and most definatly say she will not wean herself yet, shes only 3 months old, breastmilk is still very much an important part of her life, and I am sure you will be on here in a few weeks posting because shes constantly on again :rotfl:

This is very normal and she isn't far off another growth spurt, just go with her lead and trust that she will have it when she wants it.

Good luck :hug:
 
I think you should go with your own instincts and what baby is telling you! You appear to be doing a fantastic job, well done! :hug:
