POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy3 years agoA. It's normal for there to be times during a nursing session when the milk flows faster — this is usually during letdown — and times when it slows. But some babies get frustrated when this happens and tend to zonk out. You can help get milk flowing again by doing something called breast compression.Between 4-6 months your baby may start waking more in the night for milk, genuinely hungry, even if they can self-settle and had previously been sleeping through. This is often a sign they are starting to need solids introduced as their calorie intake on milk alone isn't quite getting them through the night.Feeding your baby in a drowsy or sleepy state might not be something you choose to do, rather it could be something you feel compelled to do if he rejects feeds when awake, does not eat enough when feeding while awake, or because he appears to favor feeding in a sleepy state.Feed your baby at the beginning of the bedtime routine.Put your baby to bed drowsy but not asleep.Don't go cold-turkey if your baby currently wakes between four to six times a night.Don't panic if your baby falls asleep during a night feed.

A strong reaction from you to being bitten during breastfeeding might have the same effect. Sometimes a baby is simply too distracted to breastfeed.
