I’ve been debating for ages whether to stop breastfeeding nearly 4 month old DS but would like to continue to 6 months. He’s on the 2nd centile (dropped from 9th at birth) and I’ve been under pressure from the health visitor to increase his feeds to increase his weight. This has mean me offering the breast loads and trying to get him to latch on. I feel like I’ve pressured him too much and now he won’t feed. It’s been going on for a few days and seems to be getting worse - when I get him in the cradle position (or any other position) he will arch his back and cry even when it’s been 3-4 hours since his last feed. I’m having to feed him when he’s super sleepy to get him to latch. He’s been waking for night feeds as normal and they haven’t been a problem, it’s just in the day. I had to express earlier on because my breasts were that full from him skipping a feed and I offered him the bottle of breastmilk which he also refused. I’ve since fed him while he’s asleep. How do I resolve this? I’m worried I’ve pressured him too much to feed frequently and it’s developed an aversion.
He did have his 16 week vaccinations on Monday and it seems to have gotten worse since then, not sure if that’s a factor.
