20 week old suddenly stopped breastfeeding

Hi
My 20 week old daughter has suddenly went off breast feeding. Yesterday she was fussy all day and from late afternoon onwards completely refused the breast. I ended up having to give her a bottle before bed. This morning when she woke up she attached on for a couple of minuted then began to cry. Again I had to express and feed her with a bottle. She is teething so I don't know if that has anything to do with it.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

have you tried teething gel before you feed her?

Hi bozz, it sounds like a nursing strike - take a look at this, hopefully might help?

Good luck!

Thanks for your messages
She is still being very fussy but I am trying to persist with offering her the breast as much as possible as I really dont want her to go off it completely. I put some teething gel on her gums but she is still being stubborn! lol
Hopefully she will be back to normal soon :)
