Question
Good day, my son is almost 4month old,been nursing normally, yesterday he started refusing the breast, he doesnt take bottles as well, he just drinks when he is sleepy or while sleeping.I aint sure it is because of his teeth that might be coming out?

What shall i do?

I am going nuts! please help me Ruth.Thanks!!

Answer
it could be that he just wants to socialize more than he has before... because it doesnt sound like a nursing strike. Often some babies do this and then it just goes away... hopefully this will happen to you. It is possible that it could also be because he is starting  to teeth but when they get hungry enough, they will eat :) esp at 4 months old :)

Just keep at it and offer it when he is ready. as long as he is having wet diapers and acting fine, then don't worry about it :)

Good luck!
