Mine was crying and refusing to latch a couple of times. It could be a phase or that baby felt the milk flow was too strong/ weak. I tried waiting for a few minutes before trying again and he latched. You can try to call your hospital’s lactation consultant (they have a free hotline) for advice and tips!

Try to latch when baby just woke up or before nap? I find that baby is more receptive and less distracted when sleepy

might be a phase, do keep trying and don’t give up
