Hi mummies, my 3 month old suddenly prefers EBM than direct latching these past 2 weeks. She keeps rejecting to direct latch even when she's hungry but would happily drink EBM from the bottle. Any ideas why and suggestions to coax her back to direct latch?

I had the same problem then, I was pretty depressed but didn’t give up. Just keep trying, and ideally not when the baby is too hungry because latching requires more effort from them. I also tried to not give a big teet with a fast flow.
