Question

Accepted Answer

If your 2-month-old baby is not breastfeeding, it could be due to latch issues, low milk supply, nipple confusion (if bottle-fed), or discomfort from gas or illness. Try these steps:

Skin-to-skin contact: Hold your baby close to encourage natural feeding instincts. Check latch & positioning: Ensure the baby’s mouth covers both the nipple and areola. Express some milk: Hand-express a few drops to stimulate interest. Avoid force-feeding: Let the baby latch naturally; forcing can create resistance. Rule out medical issues: Check for oral thrush, tongue-tie, or nasal congestion. Stay patient & calm: Stress can affect both you and the baby.

If the baby still refuses to feed, consult a lactation consultant or pediatrician to find the best solution. Meanwhile, you can express milk and feed using a spoon or cup to ensure proper nutrition.
