Is my baby weaning himself?
My son is almost 4 months old. At 3 months, he was hospitalized for bronchitis (caught at daycare) and dehydration. Prior to his hospitalization, he was hardly nursing at all (he previously nursed like a champ; we've never supplemented with formula) nor was he very interested in his bottles. Since he's been out of the hospital, his appetite has improved but he still doesn't like to nurse! He will nurse before bed at night and for a few minutes in the middle of the night, and that's about it. My sister-in-law says it sounds like he is weaning himself. Can that happen so early? This is breaking my heart! My hope was to nurse him for at least a year. Any tips or suggestions? (It may also be important to note that he is on Prevacid for severe reflux, which he was diagnosed with just before his hospitalization for bronchitis)
