A. Try giving him most of his feeding by bottle and then switching over to breastfeeding. If he is used to a bottle, and completely refusing your breast, he may be willing to breastfeed with a nipple shield. The following approach works for some families. You will need an at breast, or chest, supplementer link to do this.

A. Changes in your smell due to a new soap, perfume, lotion or deodorant might cause your baby to lose interest in breastfeeding. Changes in the taste of breast milk — triggered by the food you eat, medication, your period or getting pregnant again — also can trigger a breastfeeding strike. Reduced milk supply.And when a newborn gets frustrated, he may begin to refuse the breast. But, don't get discouraged. Put the baby to breast as often as possible and if you have to supplement with formula during this time, don't feel guilty.
