My 3 month old is feeding less from the last 10 days. he feeds for 5 mins from only one breast at a time and completely refuses the other. on the lactation experts advise, i express the other side. he refuses to drink from the bottle also nowadays. only when he is asleep, he drinks from the bottle. Until 2.5 months, he was breastfeeding and bottlefeeding very well. This is a sudden change. Is this normal?
