hi marsha!!!
my baby is almost 5 mos now, i started to go back to work 2 weeks ago and am pumping. lately, i noticed that he is refusing the breast... i work 3 days a week, 12 hrs and pump 2x while at work. i feed him before i leave. i still want to continue breastfeeding him...

After you returned to work, did you exclusively nurse when you were home and only allow the caregivers to provide bottles in your absence?

Do you feel your milk supply has decreased and that may have caused the refusal?

yes, when we're at home, i don't give him the bottle. he'll suck a few times then pull away. also, i stopped taking fenugreek after taking it since the birth of my baby.
