Hi everyone, I really need some advice.

My 14-week-old son has suddenly started refusing the breast and seems to be on a nursing strike. Since his birth, he has been breastfeeding with no issues but right now getting him to latch or stay on the breast is a major struggle and this has been going on for 10 days. He is otherwise a happy baby and having plenty of wet diapers because I have been feeding him breastmilk through bottles. But this sudden refusal is stressful. The bottles have a super slow / slow nipple and I have tried some skin to skin and feeding him when he is drowsy But none of this seems to work.

Has anyone gone through this? What worked to get your baby back to the breast? Thank you!
