3 month old refusing milk. My 3 month old boy has been refusing breast since a week. I dont know how it all started. He has been having 2 bottles pumped breast milk a day when I am off to work and the rest of the feedings directly from my breast.
But from the last week he fails to nurse directly. He has a little and then starts screaming and crying. Despite refusing the breast they also act as if they seem unhappy or fussy by not nursing.
This could be a sign of a milk strike beginning in your little one. A milk strike also usually starts when your baby is at least 3 months old. This when they are more aware of the world around them which may make them overwhelmed leading to fussiness.

She doesnt have fever or elevated temperature and is active. Once in a while we succeed in tricking her to drink the milk while. What many moms dont realize is that this can change dramatically around the 3-4 month mark.
Babies who used to feed every 1 to 3 hours for 30 minutes or more babies who were always happy to breastfeed when offered - suddenly start refusing the breast at times and when they do accept may only feed for a few minutes before pulling off.

Not only will your toddler eat milk-soaked cereal he just might slurp it from the bowl once the cereal has finished. I feel you guys. My LO is almost 3 months and he was having exactly what everyone had been describing for past 3 weeks.
He would cry when in feeding position suck on the teat then turning head or arching. You can feed him when he is half asleep. I had tried different level of teats different position different area and every thing you named it.

3 months old baby Question. Hi There my baby is 3 months old and she is having Flu. She is refusing breast milk and I also tried to feed with katori chamach.
Some one please help how I can feed my baby as she is getting very weak. Now he is 3 months and i am back at work and he refuses even at night and its really hard trying ro get him to breastfeed over night. I usuaally only get him to successfuly nurse 2 times over night now due to fussing and crying.
I dont want to give in to the bottle especially as i want to keep him only on breastmilk but its becoming worse. The weaning process should be usually complete at 6-7 weeks of age but it may take longer occasionally. 3 months is indeed a long time but it may happen.
My suggestion would be to start weaning him immediately. To begin weaning a kitten mix the kitten food with formula so they recognize the taste. Wondered if anyone else has experienced this - my 3 month old daughter has started to refuse her bottle is getting very upset when i try to feed her - we battle with her and the bottle sometimes she eventually takes it and other times just gets more upset and refuses.
She used to take 5 bottles a day and sleep through the night but now is waking. I first started having this struggle around 9 months old when I noticed she would start to refuse her formula. I still managed to get enough formula to her even though ever feeding was a struggle.
But even now when we have switched her to milk it is a daily struggle to make sure she gets the minimum 16 ounces of milk and with that she will maybe only drink about 2. Another consideration is making sure your baby is getting enough milk. How might you know how much milk your baby is getting you might ask.
Well gross as it sounds the answer lays in their dirty and wet nappies. You can expect six wet nappies in 24 hours if your baby is over a week old UNICEF 2016. If youre unsure its best to ask.
When I took her bedtime bottle of formula milk away at 13 months old she point blank refused to drink cows milk from a beaker so ever since then she has not drunk milk or had a bedtime drink my older two switched happily from a bottle of formula to a beaker of cows milk with no problems at all. 3 month old is suddenly refusing the bottle. My son is 3 months old and breast fed.
We introduced him to a periodic bottle of breast milk starting at 6 weeks old and everything was fine until about 1 week ago when he suddenly decided that he didnt like the bottle from me or my husband. I have switched nipples with no luck. Avoid distractions such as media music and toys when bottle-feeding.
Feed your child at consistent time intervals of 3 to 4 hours. My 16 month old was like that just last month. Hes finally drinking it again now.
Minimize sugary drinks during the day as she may prefer those to milk and maybe get yourself a glass of milk as well so she can see u drinking it. Maybe its time for her to start using a cup instead of the bottle. Maybe she will be interested in using a straw to.
