Nursing Strike

According to Baby Center, a baby who refuses to breastfeed, and is not in the process of being weaned, is said to be on a "nursing strike." A nursing strike is a baby's way of telling you that something's wrong. And it'll probably take a little detective work to figure out the problem.

It happened to me last week when I refused to drink milk/breastfeed (or even eat) for two days because my tongue was infected with chicken pox. I was just recovering from pneumonia so it was really hard for me to have chicken pox, my appetite was affected and I lose some weights because of these back to back infection. Dad wanted to bring me to the hospital for fear of dehydration because I only sipped 4 ounces of milk (with the help of a teaspoon) for the entire day. (dad's note: visit my blog for related story)

Anyway, I am now okay and my appetite is back. Though right now I only drink less than 10 ounces of milk a day, I eat a lot of food especially fruits (dad's note: I hope you will drink a few more ounces of milk a day)

P.S. Goodbye feeding bottle, I am drinking my milk strait from a cup.

Have a nice day to all,
