Chubba is on a nursing strike.

Argh, at least I know what it is.

It might be caused by:
• Mouth pain from teething, a cold sore, or an infection (such as thrush). – possible, she is teething around 4 teeth lately.
• In an older baby, the baby is afraid Mom will scream. This is common when your teething baby bites and you react by yelling.

• An ear infection, which causes pressure or pain while nursing. – hmm, her nanny in Amadeo told me that her left ear smells. I didnt notice though. Must validate.
• A cold or stuffy nose, which makes breathing difficult while nursing.

• Too many bottles or overuse of a pacifier, resulting in a reduced milk supply – argh, this may be it. She has been solely taking my milk in the bottle for two weeks before coming home.

• A major disruption in your baby’s routine, such as you returning to work. – or her returning home? LOL.
• An unusually long separation from you. - uh-huh

They say I can try this. If she is just accustomed to bottles for now, I may need to buy a nipple shield.
I need to really take time to get this back on track. And I cant take a leave from work…*niiiiiiice*.
