I have an 11 month old. I breastfed him for 5.5 months but had to stop because he wouldn't tolerate my milk NO MATTER WHAT I DID. Now I'm taking fenugreek and pumping. I have plenty of milk but I don't know how to get the baby interested again. There are La Leche League meetings in my area but not another one for like 2-3 weeks. Help, if you have any suggestions! TY

  1. Are you eating strong smelling food or might he be allergic to something you are ingesting?  Do you smoke or drink alcohol?  Those could all be reasons why he's not interested in nursing.  Or he's just too busy to want to nurse, which happens sometimes.  If its okay for you to pump, just offer him your milk in a sippy cup if he will drink it.


  2. If there are no meetings until the first of the month or whenever, try the forums on the website (llli.org).
