If your baby likes to be stroked, try putting him or her tummy down across your lap as you gently stroke your baby's back. You may end up feeding your baby too often. If your baby's cries get worse with feeding, don't force it. If you think your baby may not be getting enough food, consult your pediatrician who may suggest bringing the baby in for a height and weight check. Check to see if your child's nose is stuffed while trying to eat.
Some babies cry because they're startled by the rush of milk when they start nursing.
Some get fussy if the flow or taste of breast milk changes. The taste of breast milk can be affected by such foods as chocolate, onions, garlic, cabbage or caffeinated drinks, so nursing moms may want to cut back on these foods. Breast milk may also dry up if mom is upset, ill or not eating or drinking enough. Some thrive on routines. If your baby likes a steady pattern of activity, try to have a regular schedule of feeding, bathing, diaper changes, outings and bedtimes.
