My six-month-old has suddenly lost interest in breastfeeding and is not latching like before? What do I do?

Babies may go on milk strike at different growing phases. At 6 months old, babies may refuse to latch due to teething. Their teeth are starting to grow under their gums which cause them to feel itchy and uncomfortable. This may cause them to refuse latching. You can try to relieve their discomfort by giving them teether or to freeze your breastmilk and give them your breastmilk Popsicles to chew instead. This phase is usually temporary.
