[quote=Anonymous]Hugs to you… Mine went on a nursing strike when he was about the same age and that was the first battle in his very young life that he ultimately won. 
He is a teenager now and still as strong willed as he was back then. I bet you will hear tons of “useful advice” on how to break the strike but I always think that those well meaning  people never met a truly determined child like mine.

Your child might give in or not - it all will be OK. I ended up pumping and supplementing with formula, and although it was never my original plan my baby was happy and healthy. And that is the only thing that matters. But, yes, it was very difficult for me emotionally back then. So I absolutely understand how you feel now. But for me it also was a great lesson that my child is his own person and I don’t have a complete control over him. And we still joke sometimes about that.

You are a great mother and, please, don’t beat yourself up. Happy and healthy is what really matters.[/quote]
