Baby is currently 20 weeks old, c section birth, breast fed exclusively for three weeks then moved to combination feeding and have been doing that very happily ever since.
I really enjoyed breastfeeding him, I found it very bonding and relaxing and he seemed to enjoy nursing and getting cosy too. I tended to breastfeed at night and a couple of times during the day before his naps as he'd feed to sleep. However about three days ago he just refused the boob. Wouldn't open his mouth and cried when put the nipple close to him.
I've tried lots of times daily now and he literally refuses, and cries when I get hin into the breast feeding position on his pillow. It's been three days and no breast feed.
I've expressed a couple of times but haven't needed too today so i assume my milk supply is dwindling.

Is that it for him breastfeeding now? I'm really upset if so.
