What is it?
A baby who refuses to breastfeed, and is not in the process of being weaned, is said to be on a "nursing strike." A nursing strike is your baby's way of telling you that something's wrong. And it'll probably take a little detective work to figure out the problem.
What causes it?
According to the La Leche League International, some of the most common reasons for a nursing strike include:

"The study did not suggest that breast augmentation impeded breastfeeding. In fact, other research has proven that most women who have such a procedure can successfully breastfeed their baby. "

Perhaps adding additional credo to the reasons to breastfeed list, China is in the hot seat again with yet another tainted children's product. Only this time, the product in question is infant formula. In response to reports of a contaminated milk-based formula, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a Health Information Advisory.

Certain fish can provide an excellent source of the essential fatty omega 3, a nutrient that is vital for healthy infant brain development. Years ago, expecting women were encouraged to consume fish to increase omega 3 intake, but that recommendation had tapered off due to the high amounts of mercury in fish from our polluted waters. A new study found that moderate consumption is most beneficial for both mother and baby.
