A. do continue with dream feeding, it's not a bad practice. breast refusal is very common around this age .. Make skin to skin contact more and cuddles with no pressure to feed. try to feed without any distraction.

A. hello try feeding the baby in a silent place with no distraction and also you can even express your milk using Babyhug breastpump and try to feed the same using a bpa free bottle and see if the baby will be able to take which would be an alternative option so baby will take well
