nursing strike? teething?

[changedname]

Since yesterday afternoon DD has refused to nurse. She also wont go to sleep in her crib. The only way I can get her to sleep is by holding her until she falls asleep then hoping she stays asleep for the transfer into the crib.

Help! Is she weaning herself? Teething? If I try and make her nurse she screams bloody murder.

This sounds like a possible ear infection.

I just googled nursing strike and ear infection came up. I'm going to take her to the doctors this afternoon. Thanks

Yep, I was going to guess ear infection as well. The only time my kids refused to nurse was when they had them. My kids always got/get ear infections when they are getting teeth. The sucking and laying down can exacerbate the ear pain (if that is, in fact, the problem).
