8 weeks old nurses only when asleep or drowsy/ Refuses when alert – is it a nursing strike?

My 8 weeks old baby refuses to nurse when alert ? have to rock him to sleep and then to feed him AFTER naps. He does not want breast before naps ( occasionally will nurse before the nap, but it is very rare). Before each nap he cries to show that he is ready for nap and I will intuitively offer breast ? he will refuse and then I have to rock him to sleep. Do not know whether it is nursing strike and whether I can change it to nurse him before nap so that he does not cry?please help with ideas.

Sorry I don't have an answer for you, but just bumping. You may get a response if you post in the breastfeeding section.
