So my LO is 1 next week. We've not had much problem feeding and she's followed 9th percentile since birth.

Last week or so she's refusing to feed during day :shrug:

She has 2 good feeds during night. I've been offering feeds through day and she latches on, maybe feeds few seconds then pulls off and just tries wriggling away.

I'm scared she's going to self wean or my milks going to dry up and I don't know what to do. I'm not ready to stop x
 
This happened a few months ago with my son and I was gutted. He would just turn his head away and refuse, he would happily drink a cup of water instead.
The only advice I can offer (sorry if you've tried this!) is to give less solids, offer milk before solids, feed in a calm quiet place, wait until she is sleepy/asleep.
 
Thanks hun, I hadn't actually thought of offering her milk before food :dohh: will give that a go tomorrow! Not much chance of finding a quiet space in my house mind :haha: xx
 
Best of luck! Sophie weaned at 11.5 months doing this and I always wish I had tried harder :-(
