1. Gas or Colic: Babies often experience gas, which can cause discomfort and make feeding difficult. Burping after feeds and gentle tummy massages may help.
2. Teething Pain: Even at a young age, some babies begin teething, which can make feeding uncomfortable.
3. Growth Spurt: Babies may cry more and have feeding irregularities during growth spurts, which are common around 6-8 weeks, 3 months, etc.
4. Illness or Discomfort: If your baby has a cold, ear infection, or other discomfort, it may affect feeding.
5. Nipple Confusion or Latch Issues: If bottle-feeding or if there’s a change in latch, they may struggle to feed.
If this persists or if your baby shows signs of dehydration (fewer wet diapers, dry mouth), or fever, it’s best to consult a pediatrician.
