Boob rejection

J

Baby is 6w4d and she’s been rejecting one boob only at night time. She legit knows the moment I position her and she’ll start yelling her guts off. I pick her up and calm her down and try again but nothing. So I tried to put her on the other breast that she just feed from and she’ll take it easily. However, like I mentioned, this out happens at one of the night time feeds and the rest of her feeds at night are like normal. Would this be a growth spurt or what would this be? And it’s always the same boob side that she rejects at that specific feed.

Try tricking her to think it’s the different boob. My 11 week old has done this off and on since birth, if I hold her like I’m carrying a football she will take the “rejected” boob. Don’t give up! She will eventually take it!

I’ve only walked around to feed her once but never did in think to do this. Will definitely have to try

Have you tried walking around while you feed her? Mine will get emotional and I have to walk around feeding her. Seems to help.

Haha I did that yesterday ... it was so funny to see but heartbreaking seeing her cry 😭 she like automatically knew the moment I positioned her she would start crying her lungs out ... so it’s just something normal I’m assuming. She just started doing this like 2 days ago... that was her favorite boob before

Could be she just doesn't want to take the time to get that boob warmed up. My daughter will easily take the side she just ate from because it's already warm and squishy

Mine does it constantly and then is pissed that I'm not having a let down 😂
