Accepted Answer

Common reasons for increased night breastfeeding in toddlers include teething, decreased breastfeeding during the day because of distraction, developmental advances and reconnecting with mom.This renewed interest can mean many things: perhaps a breastfeeding problem has been resolved and so the nursing strike is over, perhaps the child is having second thoughts about weaning, or perhaps the child is just curiousIt might well be that your little one doesn't want anything because they're poorly. Just like you, your baby loses their appetite when they're feeling a bit unwell or off-colour . So if your baby has a cold or a sore throat, or if they're teething, they may go off their food . They may simply be too tired to eat.
