Why Baby Won't Breast-Feed

The Nemours Foundation offers this list of possible reasons why your baby may take a break from breast-feeding for a few days:

• New foods or other dietary changes may make your milk taste different.
• Your baby is teething, and has sore gums that make feeding painful.
• You are stressed, and your baby notices.
• You've changed your breast-feeding routine.
• You reacted loudly to an accidental bite, frightening your baby.
• You've changed your perfume or deodorant, and your baby notices the different smell.
• Your baby may have an ear infection, stuffy nose or other condition that makes breast-feeding painful or uncomfortable.
