How to make baby latch again?

Any idea how to make my baby latch again? He's a mix feed baby since birth and I think my husband & I have been bottle feeding him too often until recently he's been refusing to latch. Tried to keep latching but he'll push my breast away. He's almost 4 mths. #advicepls #pleasehelp

Hi, sounds like nipple confusion. Maybe he prefer the flow from the bottle now. Pls do as much as skin to skin contact with lo. And avoid offering breast when he’s super hungry. Always do so before his feeding time. When lo is calm. Get a lactation consultation for guidance.

I see... so sad he's been rejecting to nurse. I actually tried to latch when he was sleepy and he did latch for a good 10 mins. Tried to latch when he's wide awake and he'll push my breast away.

Keep trying! My LO suddenly rejected breast after breastfeeding and preferred bottle after we started to introduce the bottle. After trying to make him latch again, he didn’t for 2 months. Until one night, he tried to tuck my shirt and successfully latch back.

Could be milk flow too slow or too fast. Or also possible baby May totally reject latch just want bottle feed. Also do check latching positions, try lying down see whether baby ok w it.
