My 3.5 month old baby boy was completely on breastfeeding for last 3 months .But from last 15 days he is distracted during breastfeed also refuse to breastfeed when he is in alert state but take feed very well almost for 20 min when he is in sleep. He take breast milk through katori and spoon but refuse to take directly. If i take him forcefully he cries.
Below are some points.
1.His current weight is 5.9 kg. And birth weight is 2.85 kg.
2.He was gaining weight almost 1 kg per month but this month gain only 700 gm.
3.His urine count is almost 10 to 12 time a day .
4. My breast milk supply is good .
I am very confused why he behaves like this. And what is solution for this.

It's natural. When baby awake, he is conscious of everything including appetite but when he is partially sleeping his brain is fully integrated to breastfeeding. It's very common.
