Welcome Elena! That is very common at that age! He is distracted by things going on. Make sure you nurse him before any solid food (if he's getting any) try nursing him in a quiet place where he can't be distracted. I'm sure some of the other ladies have more suggestions :-)

Elena,

It is not that he doesn't want it he is just to nosey. My Ds still is that way. He is almost 8 months. He nurses fine when I take him to bed even if it isn't nap time. Offer it in a quiet non distracting place. Pull the shades. At 5 months they do not want to wean they are just to busy. Hang in there and offer it frequently. Pump when you can't get him to take it and offer it in a cup when you are out. That is what I have to do because when there is a commotion Ds will not take it. He still is an avid nurser though. Good luck

Elena,

Welcome to the list. http://www.lalecheleague.org/Italia.html Here is a

link for La Leche League in Italy. I would suggest you call them and talk

to someone who speaks your native tongue. I would love to help as well.

What is your son doing exactly? Is he screaming at the breast? Is he just

too distracted? Does he get bottles and pacifiers? This is a common age to

start becoming distracted and more interested in the surroundings. Nursing

in a dark quiet room can help. Do not worry at all about your English, it

is very good! I wish I could say as much for my Italian, but I know none!

Glad to have you here and I sure hope you get the help you need. My website

also has a lot of information. http://www.lactivist.com

Elena,

Welcome, I wish I spoke Italian to be able to help, but I do know Spanish.

I will write this in both, so that you can go for whatever helps you most.

My youngest, daughter, is also 5 and a half months (born 10 February). She

is not distracted, but her older brother was at this age. I used to have to

walk around while he was nursing. For some reason, walking helped to

capture his attention so that he didn't look around so much.

Bienvenido, Elena,

Quisiera que hablase italiano, pero solo hablo espanol (mas que ingles).

Mi ninita tambien tiene 5 mese y media de edad (nacido 10 febrero). Ella no

se distrae, pero su hermano mayor se destrayo muchisimo a esa edad. Tenia

que ir caminando por la casa cuando estaba amamantado. Por cualquier razon,

caminando le captivaba la atencion y no miraba ni se destraia tanto.

Besos,

Dear Wendi, thank you for your reply....I understand everything in English,

so you can write me what ypou think about my problems in english because I

understand. Yes, he takes bottles....only one per day, in the morning for

breakfast....before I offer him my breast and after I give him the bottle

but sometimes he does not want neither me nor the bottle. He absolutely does

not take any pacifier or comforter ...he only want his thumb. I always

nurse in my bed room that is very quiet.....but one month ago I was at the

seaside in France...and I could nurse Him at the seaside with no problems!

At the evning I make him sleeping only by offering him my breast. Why now he

does not want my breast and it is sufficient for him to feel that I am close

to him, leaning his little head on my breast without sucking. The problem is

that my milk is going away because Albert suck only once a day, in the

morning...LUNCH AND DINNER are with vegetables and meat or cheese....in the

middle of the afternoon I would like to give him my milk...but he does not

want....he is in love with the spoon, so I have to give him something with

spoon....as fruit or other things...

What I have to do to avoid that my milk would finish???

Thank you for your help.

P.S.: I know very well LLL....I have also their book...but I cannot find any

suggestion there.

I know that Wendi will have a great solution for you, My concern is did you

say he only nurses about once a day and he gets a bottle once a day? My

concern is,is that enough liquid for a baby that age? how is his wetting and

pooping habits.

Elena,

It sounds like he is filling up too much on other things. I would suggest

to stop giving him a bottle in the morning and cut back on some of his food

throughout the day. Breastmilk is the most nutritious thing for him. The

more he fills up on other things and sucks a bottle or his thumb the less

time he will spend at your breast. You might want to consider getting a

pump to preserve your supply during this time. I would suggest that you

attempt to nurse him many times throughout the day. Always nurse first

before offering food. You might even wake him up a few minutes early and

try to get a nursing in while he is still sleepy. The more nursings you get

in throughout the day the more your supply will pick up. The American

recommendation is to not start solid food until the baby is at least 6

months old. The more eating and sucking that he does away from your breast

the less supply you will have. Have you attended any LLL meetings, are they

near you?

DAY AND HE MAKES WETTING AT EACH CHANGE OF NAPPY, I MEAN THAT I FIND NAPPY

WET EVERY CHANGE...DURING THE DAY I OFFER HIM MY BREAST OR THE BOTTLE WITH

WATER...BUT UNFORTUNATELY MY BREAST IS NOT IN HIS INTEREST AND AS FOR

WATER...SOMETIMES HE DRINKS SOMETIMES NOT....AND IF I FORCE HIM TO DRINK HE

RUSH BACK SO NOW I PUT MY HEART IN PEACE (you say the same in USA???) AND I

DO NOT FORCE HIM TO DRINK. AT THE SAME TIME, HIS SISTER DRANK MORE THAN HIM

Dear Wendi, thak you very much for your reply. Yes, before very meal, I

offer my breast to Alberto....but he only accept it in the morning...As for

solid foods...also in Italy we think that it is better to give mummy milk,

instead of giving other foods...but mummy must have a lot of

milk...unfortunately I do not have a lot of milk, because at the beginning I

had bad suggestion from people....so o give breast only 5 or 6 times per

day.....to control how much milk he took and then giving a bottle for the

difference....when Albert was 3 months I met LLL on internet and I saw that

all I did was wrong...but It was too late to improve my production of milk.

So I was able to maintain it by an electric pump and offering the bottle

with my milk..I had to pump 6 time a day to have two bottle of about 170

cc.At the beginning of july I gave up with electric pump because the LLL

consultant told me that I could give up and offer Alberto my breast,

considering that I geban with solid foods....because I had not too much

milk....and then you know the story. By the way even if Alberto does not

want my breast much times per day...I hope that when he grows will ask more

for my breast this is my really hoping.

Sorry for my bad english...have you understood?
