Reasons Why Your Baby Refuses to Breastfeed

Many times, your baby, who has been perfectly fine having milk from your breasts, might suddenly refuse to suckle your breasts anymore and refrain from coming close to it at all. This protest is also called as nursing strike. 
Nursing strikes can stay for a couple of days, or in some cases, longer than that. Many mothers might suddenly feel rejected when their baby refuses to breastfeed. However, it is important to note that this is just your baby’s way of communicating something to you. The causes of nursing strikes can vary from something your baby is feeling or even something externally that they experienced. But understanding the reason behind it and giving all your love and affection to make the baby feel safe again, is the quickest way to break the nursing strike.
