Kieran has been refusing to feed off me all last night and all today. He goes on couple of sucks the pulls off and cries.
Last night I left Kieran with my Mum for a couple of hours while I done abit of food shopping and left some EBM with her but she put a fast flow teat into the bottle rather than the slow flow one I had told her to So now he knows he can get milk quicker elsewere and won't feed off me anymore
Last night when he woke I tried him and he wouldn't feed but I thought it was just him being fussy so kept trying him but no he still wouldn't. I kept trying for 2 hours and he was screaming at this point so wouldn't have latched anyway so I gave him 1oz of forumla (slow flow teat) to try and calm him down. He did calm down so I tried again and still wouldn't have it, this went on for another 30mins and by then I had enough (3am now ) so gave him a whole bottle of formula and he slept until 9am. Tried him again at 9am when he would be most hungry and he still wouldn't feed off me so he had another bottle.
I kept trying him at different times throughout the day and he just wouldn't feed off me so I guess that's it and he is on formula from now on.
Im disapointed that it's now ended but pleased to have got to 3months
