My baby has suddenly stopped feeding. He is just 3 months old and is refusing to latch on. This has been going on for two days now. I am literally forcing him to latch on. What should I do?

There are many reasons associated with baby refusing to latch on. Sometimes, the milk supply from the breast increases and decreases, and the baby is not used to this change and he finds it difficult to adjust. Or if you are feeding in between the bottle he may be confused and sometimes, it may be tiredness. I remember, when my baby was born, she was unable to latch, and I was worried that will she ever able to make it, so I was myself pressing out the milk from the breast than letting her suck. So, when my doctor came, she said, "Do not do this. By doing so you are making the baby lethargic. When he will be hungry he will himself latch." You try different position, or do not feed him during the time he generally takes feed, let him be hungry and then he will himself take the feed. Also, check with the doctor if his chest is clear and not congested. Generally, we come to know about cold and cough but congestion goes unnoticed till the time it becomes really bad. https://www.breastfeeding.asn.au/bf-info/breast-refusal
