Rejecting boob at 5 months

Hi mummies, my LO has recently started to reject my boob when he was around 4 month (and we noticed a tooth sprouting). Have always been latching him since newborn with the occasional bottle when we head out. However he started crying whenever I try to nurse him although he does let me latch him when dreamfeeding. Any idea what happened and any solutions? Thanks!

I think your LO is on a nursing strike which is common for babies. There could be many reasons like baby feeling unwell due to the erupting tooth, strong letdown, distraction etc. It should resolve in a few days. Can try to latch your baby more frequently, more skin to skin contact, cary your nursing position.
