Managing evening nursing strikes

If your baby refuses the breast in the late evening but feeds well during the day, they may be experiencing a period where your milk supply is slightly lower due to natural fluctuations in prolactin levels. Some parents find success by offering shorter, more frequent feeds within a single wake window or using the 'Milk-Activity-Milk-Activity-Sleep' routine. Ensuring your baby has a calm environment and remains relaxed can also help manage the fussiness during these evening hours.
