I think his problem is that he wants his food faster, so he’d prefer it from a bottle or a spoon & dish. I think he is also distracted by wanting to play & look at the world. Nursing him when he’s going down for a nap works pretty well for us, but a few days ago I happened upon another thing that has really helped! Letting him hold his pacifier while he nurses has calmed him & extended his nursing times. He just plays with it, rolling it around in his hand & across my chest. When it drops, he comes off the nipple, so I pick up the pacifier & put the edge in my mouth while he re-latches, and he takes it out of my mouth & continues playing with it.

I don’t expect this to work for everyone, or even for us forever, but it’s one more trick in your bag. Good luck!!

We sent him to the various doctors but they couldn’t find any problem. They all said that he will eat when he wants to. This really worries us and sometimes I really question those doctors. We requested for a complete checkup but they refuse.

The only time he eats from the breast is when he is half asleep. He is on nursing strike for 7 straight weeks already. It drives us nuts. Any of your idea would be really appreciated.
