Breastfeeding
My 4 month old baby not breastfeeding... He also refused pumped breast milk also... past two weeks his doing like this only... I'm so much worried about this
How is your baby’s activity? How is his sleep? If both are good then there’s nothing major to worry about.
Maybe there’s a latching issue? Does he have any difficulty sucking on the breast? If that’s the case then please ensure that he attaches onto the breast properly. That is make sure that he has the entire nipple and 3/4 th off the surrounding dark portion (areola) in his mouth and make sure his lower lip is out turned.
Are you feeding him wherever he cries for milk? That is called demand feeding and demand feeding is what you must do. In case you don’t feed him when he cries for milk then please start doing so right away.
If any of the above doesn’t seem to be the issue then please consult a Pediatrician
