4+ months baby is not taking breast feed....

hi shikha! I completely understand your concern. it could be a neonatal tooth which is present from birth or a recently erupting tooth.. if it's troubling yr baby, make sure to visit yr dentist to decide the future course of action. also please make sure not to force-feed her otherwise she will dread breastfeeding .stay relaxed and cheerful and keep talking to baby. as she feels better she would graduallly come around and accept yr feed.

Thanks Shikha mam for ur comment but I asked my ped about tooth but he denied clearly... now i m not sure i should go to dentist bcoz she is so small.... and pls help me to know when exactly should I feed her... i mean any point of time or any sign from her so that she will not dread breast feed... i want to BF her but in this condition how should I breast feed her and how often should i offer her... I also hav another concern about milk supply... if i will not BF her my milk supply will be low.... pls guide me.... i m so much worried.... One more question should i breastfeed her in night?

Hi Shikha, completely understand your situation. It concerns moms a lot when little one does not accept breast feed. But just wanted to ask a little question.. In this scenario daily, how many times are you able to breastfeed your little one peacefully without any chaos?Atleast three times a day?

My suggestions regarding when to breast feed your child is that.. Don't start to feed when he is crying. Check the time when you fed him last. After 1 and half hour or so, try to feed again even if he is in a playful mood. Or immediately try to feed when he is about wake up from his sleep. If it is breast milk you can feed anytime even if it's midnight. As pead said that there's no tooth issue, I'm just guessing that maybe your little one cries because he wants you make him fall asleep. So these are points just out of my experience. Hope this helps

Thanks Sri,for ur question regarding BF, there is no single time when i m able to feed her without any chaos, every time i have to make her sleep first by hook or crook then when she is about to sleep then i offer her BF sometimes she takes sometimes she does not.... using this method i culd feed her only 3 or 4 times in 24 hrs.... i m really worried about her growth... BF has become nightmare for me... she is exclusively on BF... :(

Shikha ,if she doesn't accept breastfeed at that moment , try again after a while.. also look for clues like when she puts hand in her mouth, or cries for no obvious reason. u could also use breast pump , and store milk and keep trying after every 2to 2 and a half hrs.. if u would not feed , breast milk supply would decrease and might even stop after a few days.. so use a breast pump to feed and store for later use.

if it's Chor dant she must be suffering from loose motion also.

hi priyanka she is not suffering from LM and she does not have vomiting, cold n cough.... but dnt know why suddenly she has started refusing breast feeding..... no solution is working till now..... already shown to two peads.... but no improvement....
