10 week suddenly won't BF

Hi there

Wondering if anyone else on here has had similar issues with a BF baby suddenly refusing the breast as this is driving me bonkers!

As of lunchtime yesterday, DS who is 10 weeks and almost exclusively BF (has one bottle probably every 2 days) has screamed and cried when I draw him in to feed. It was really bad last night, as though he was even in pain, bit I couldn't work out what it was as he was perfectly happy when feeding (expressed milk) from a bottle.

Anyone else experienced this and know what it might be?

We've been giving him expressed milk bottles since then, though I did manage to latch him on for a feed at 3am as he was half asleep.

We can't carry on like this, as with a toddler as well I'm not able to both express and bottle feed during the day. So any advice much appreciated!! Would love to know if it's just a phase or if this is it, BF over.

Thank you!
