POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy11 months agoA. If your baby has suddenly stopped breastfeeding, it could be due to a variety of reasons. This is often called a "nursing strike," and it can happen for several reasons:
1. Discomfort or illness: Teething, ear infections, or a stuffy nose can make breastfeeding uncomfortable for a baby, leading them to stop.
2. Change in milk taste: Hormonal changes (like pregnancy or your period returning) or changes in your diet may alter the taste of your milk, making your baby refuse it.
3. Distractions or developmental changes: As babies grow, they become more aware of their surroundings, and distractions may cause them to lose interest in feeding.
4. Supply issues: If your milk supply has decreased or your baby finds it harder to get milk, they may stop breastfeeding.
5. Stress or changes in routine: A change in the environment, new caretakers, or even your stress level can affect a baby's desire to breastfeed.
6. Bottle preference: If your baby is also bottle-fed, they may start preferring the bottle, as it's often easier to extract milk from.
It’s important to stay calm and offer the breast regularly without forcing. If the nursing strike continues, consulting with a pediatrician or lactation consultant can help you address any underlying issues.
