Hello This is quite common in young babies. They may go through a temporary nursing strike, during which they cry or refuse to latch despite being hungry. Another possibility is cluster feeding, where babies want to feed very frequently and remain latched for comfort. Both of these are normal phases and usually improve as the baby grows. For now, avoid forcefully trying to latch your baby when she is awake and crying, as this may make her more resistant. Instead, express your breast milk and feed it using a spoon or palada if needed. If she is latching well during the night, continue breastfeeding during those feeds. Try feeding in a calm, quiet environment and offer the breast when the baby is drowsy or just waking up, as babies often latch better at those times.

This is commonly seen as a transient feeding refusal and usually improves over a few days. Since your baby is accepting expressed breast milk and feeds well while sleepy, your milk supply is likely adequate. Continue offering the breast calmly without forcing. Try feeding in a quiet, dimly lit room, skin-to-skin contact, and offer the breast when your baby is sleepy or just waking up. If she refuses, express milk and feed it with a spoon or cup to maintain intake and your milk supply. Please have your baby examined if she has fever, cough/cold with blocked nose, white patches in the mouth, ear pulling, poor weight gain, or fewer than 6 wet diapers in 24 hours.

Sleep feeding not good for infants As u know breast feeding is Best one Try feeding directly if not give pallada feeding After few days try direct feeding

Greetings Your baby's behaviors—pulling away crying during waking feeds but nursing well while sleepy—strongly suggest a temporary nursing strike.This reaction is highly consistent with physical discomfort like an ear infection, oral thrush, or an overactive milk letdown that causes a fast, overwhelming flow.It is also common for 3-month-old infants to experience a developmental crisis where they become easily distracted or impatient with slower morning flows.To manage this, please prioritize feeding in a quiet, dark room, offer the breast while she is drowsy, and maximize close, skin-to-skin contact.Continue expressing your milk using the spoon to ensure she stays hydrated, and track her daily wet diapers.

What you're describing — latching, then pulling away and crying, especially at one time of day but not others — is a recognised pattern often called a nursing strike, not a sign your baby is rejecting you or your milk. At this age it's commonly linked to a faster or slower milk flow than she's used to, minor discomfort (teething can start this early for some babies), a stuffy nose making breathing while feeding harder, or simply a distracted, overstimulated moment. The fact that she feeds well in a sleepy state and in the evening is a reassuring sign that this is behavioural rather than a feeding-ability problem.

Consult with Pediatrician physically for further evaluation and treatment

Wait and watch.

This is called Temporary Nursing strike
