Dear practo user, milk secretion is a complex process of response of brain towards suckling , which in turn stimulates breast to produce and secrete milk. We need to find out the cause why baby is not sucking, is it because of flat nipple or inadequate quantity of milk or may b the fact that some children refuse breast milk after starting of extra diet. If baby is showing these symptoms for a few day, the baby might be sick.
Next Steps
Consult a paediatrician. take baby's temperature. see if he is urinating properly and sleeping properly.
Health Tips
Not to ignore if baby is unwell

Is it a recent phenomenon or present since the beginning. If it’s since birth, then why ask now after a year, this is weaning time anyway
