Breast Feeding problem
My baby is in 5th month and is refusing Breast feeding he gets irritated & cries loudly if I try to turn him to my side when want to feed & makes him self stiff & tightly close lips.
But he feeds well when sleepy.He also feeds little better {not much} if given in spoon while distracting him with any toy sound.
This is happening from last 4 to 5 days only & at the time of breast feeding or any other type of feeding[ just started it}. otherwise he is ok happy playing with us all is well. i can see him hungry from few days as he cuts down to half the feed still he denies feed.
I am really confused why is he doing like this. I want to breast feed her atleast for 6 months .
Any help please
Thankyou

U can start semi-solid feeds now as weaning is necessary at this age.Then his requirements for milk will be less and this is normal.You should start with one solid feed in morning and then slowly increase to morning and evening.
