A. breast refusal is very common around this age .. Make skin to skin contact more and cuddles with no pressure to feed. Babies can be distractible with feeds at around 4months, Turn off the TV, mobile, any matchine noice get rid of all distractions while feeding. Try to feed in dark room..play some soft white noice. If you can bf as much as possible and express after feed and try to feed with spoon. You can also dream feed your baby

A. Hi, please make sure to feed once in every two hours. Do not give more. If baby is hungry or sleepy then baby will become very fussy. If it is within two hours and baby is cranky then you have to first settle down the baby and then feed. But make sure to maintain a proper timing and burp your baby well after every feed.
