A. if the child is not taking breastfeeding or milk you have to see if the child is having any other problem or not. sometimes it might be due to colic pain or some oral ulcerations or oral thrush due to which the child might not be taking milk.e sometimes it is a possibility that the child might not be hungry and sometimes there is a possibility that there needs to be again readjustment in position and attachment latchment in breastfeeding position.e sometimes it can be a disease process or cold or nasal blockage also. it may be related to post vaccination pain and fever also. e

A. hi try different feeding positions. for example cradle position , cross cradle position etc make skin to skin Contact while feeding your child which definitely help to encourage your child to take more feeds. but make sure your child get enough milk.
