what can cause the baby to refuse to be breastfed
You do not want to associate negative connotations to the breast by attempting to force the baby to breastfeed. Some babies will refuse the breast weeks or even months after learning how to properly breastfeed. Sometimes, there can be a change in the taste of the milk due to diet change or a specific medicine. Other topical substances, such as lotion, spray-on deodorant or lanolin products may cause a baby displeasure and lead to refusal of the breast.
