Reasons why babies suddenly stop feeding

There are many reasons why babies don't want to breastfeed. Nowadays, babies are more likely to be born with a bottle. They are used to the nipple of the bottle, and the nipple makes them unfamiliar. Therefore, you need to slowly train your baby to drink milk from the mother's nipple. The feeding environment is also very important. As for the reason why the baby is unwilling to breastfeed, don't feed with a bottle. If the baby uses a bottle for a long time, he will resist the mother's breast. The nipple is not as easy to suck as the bottle.

The baby suddenly refuses to breastfeed

There may be several reasons why babies suddenly stop breastfeeding. The first is that you are feeding artificially. Because the rubber nipple is long and the nipple opening is large, the baby can suck very comfortably without much effort. When the baby sucks the mother's nipple again, the baby will feel very strenuous, irritable, and do not want to eat breast milk. The second is that babies generally have a period of milk aversion, which occurs in different months for different children. Generally, it occurs earlier for female babies. Don't worry too much. There are also problems with the mother, such as eating something that should not be eaten, using new cosmetics such as shower gel, etc. These will affect the baby's adaptability to the original breastfeeding environment and cause the problem of not breastfeeding.

Guidance:

1. Stop feeding with a bottle. The baby may refuse to feed after taking a few bites at first, crying and waiting for the mother to give him the bottle. At this time, the mother must insist on not giving it to him. It doesn't matter if the baby doesn't eat much at one time, let the baby eat more times. As long as the mother insists, the baby will quickly adapt to the mother's milk again.

2. Maintain the feeding environment. Try to appease the baby's irritability when he refuses to drink milk, choose a quiet and fixed environment with appropriate lighting for feeding, and do not change the feeding location frequently. If the baby feels fresh, or suddenly speaks loudly, or suddenly turns on a light, the smart and curious baby will naturally not care about drinking milk.

I hope the above can give parents a reference. If the baby does not want to breastfeed, you need to find out the reason and slowly change the way the baby breastfeeds and the feeding environment. Secondly, you need to see if the baby is uncomfortable, which will also affect the baby's breastfeeding. Changes in some surrounding things will also affect the baby's attention and cause the baby to divert his attention. I hope the above opinions can give you a reference.
