A. dear mum, Discomfort due to vaccination, infection, fever or ear ache may have resulted in this. have skin to skin contact with baby, cuddle, carry baby frequently, let baby sleep with you. try different feeding positions. Drip few drops of breast milk on nipple as you are latching. Massage breast for let-down of milk, just before trying to latch baby, so that baby gets an instant reward for latching. don't get frustrated, be patient and keep trying baby to breastfeed. if baby is not feeding then Express breast milk to avoid engorgement and to keep up your milk supply.
