Nursing strike: misunderstood feelings

J Hum Lact. 1992 Dec;8(4):217-9. doi: 10.1177/089033449200800425.

Abstract

The nursing strike often ends almost as suddenly as it began, and the mother and baby resume nursing with the same pattern as previously, but with a new understanding of their relationship and appreciation of each other's feelings. The best aspect of this technique of "loving" the strike away is that everyone feels good about the situation at its resolution.
