2 Month Old Refuses to Nurse

I think the same thing happened when I ate spicy food - which was hard for me b/c I loved it! Try eating bland and see if that helps.

Good luck, when in doubt call the pediatrician.

it could be because with a bottle she doesnt have to work for it and with the breast she does..the easier route for her is the bottle cause it just kinda drips into her mouth where as with the breast she really has to suck to get something

There are so many reasons a baby could go on a nursing strike that it is really hard to answer this question with out know what your day to day routine is like. The best thing to do is continue attempting to feed with the breast for every feeding (then pump if needed). Supposedly nursing strikes only last for 2 or 3 days. Try to not offer the bottle unless you absolutely have to. She might have a little nipple confusion.

My 11 week old just went through nipple strike as well...it lasted almost 5 days. He would scream at me when I offered the breast. However, I just kept offering it, pumping, and giving a bottle. He gladly took the breast back yesterday and has been completely content. It is very nerve wracking...but just be patient because she will come around! If not, remember that pumped milk is just as good (just not as comforting to us!!!).

my daughter refused to nurse a couple of weeks ago, and it was due to the fact that i had eaten 4 pieces of garlic bread - it must have made my milk taste bad - i pumped off both breasts, then she was fine again.
i could be something you have eaten
