Hii! Any advice on what to do in this situation?
I was exclusively breastfeeding until a month ago when I was admitted for appendicitis. So baby was then bottle fed until I came home. Everything was fine until yesterday where he simply refuses my breast. He was a very well fed baby, and occasionally I’d give him a bottle of formula around 10pm, he seemed to take both ways very well.
Any idea how I can get him back to the breast? He refused my breast the whole day today so I had to give him formula and pump in between. I am just not ready to give up breastfeeding yet :(

Does he take a dummy, sometimes when my little one refuses the boob I have to give the dummy to settle him and get him suckling and then do a quick switch to the boob, once he's latched on he's fine, can take a few tries. Might be worth a try if not a dummy a bottle teat might be with a try

ohh yes, that is a technique that is failing me now too :( he is a clever boy and once I do the quick switch from dummy to nipple he starts crying :(

It may just be the hot weather bothering him? Not sure what the weather near you but I know my baby is fussier on the breast when it's warm

that could also be a factor! He was still fussy at night but it is giving me anxiety now the amount of times he is still refusing to latch 😫
