Mom of a 7 m old boy5 months ago

Q.

My baby finally started latching after a month. But now since 2-3 days he refuses to latch. He only drinks the milk if I pump it and give it through a bottle. I want to reduce the use of formula but he is refusing to breastfeed completely. What could be the cause?

A. Actually maybe your child is still struggling to take a feed from the breast the child really has to work hard to take the feed but with bottle it’s an easy go just press on the milk is coming without any effort which is why maybe your child is more interested in feeding over breastfeeding
