Hi, I am breast feeding my 3.5 month baby. But from past 3 days she is rejecting the feed and takes the feed only during sleep. This is really frustrating as she keeps crying a lot whenever I take her to feed. Has anyone faced something like this and how did ur baby accept the feed again. If someone could help, it would be a great help. Thank you!

A. chances are high that the child might be experiencing colic pain due to which the child is crying so you can give anti colic medicines and stomach massage but it is important to prevent this by doing regular burping for 15 to 20 minutes
