Need help my 4 & a half month old baby has been refusing to nurse she's been on nothing but breast milk and only gets a bottle when I'm at work. Lately she will refuse to nurse maybe once a day now she's refusing alot she will scream on the top of her lungs until she gets a bottle I'll try to get her to latch she'll start to and then freak out. I'm not ready to stop but I don't know what else to do it's so upsetting

you may have to go on a breastfeeding vacation where you lie in bed with baby and do skin to skin to reestablish your breastfeeding relationship....just nap and feed baby for 48-72 hours.
make sure caregiver is pace feeding. have them watch this video ссылка
they want her to wait till 6 months I have no idea why though
Has the doctor ok'd her to try solid foods yet? My son is 4 months and he can have stage 1 foods now. Maybe she would find some rice flakes palatable?
yeah I tried everything I'll give her a half an ounce or an ounce sometimes I tried to ounces to get her dinner and she won't. I've tried different bottles. but she does eat pretty fast. I only work 3 days a week so I was hoping this wasn't going to happen where she doesn't want to nurse anymore. :(
Maybe give her half an ounce or so from the bottle so she calms down a bit and then start nursing her. Maybe she needs a different flow bottle nipple. Does she down bottles really fast? Maybe she's getting used to bottles getting milk out quicker and she doesn't want to work for the milk at breast.
My baby started doing this when he had a ear infection. It went away after 4-5 days I know exactly how you are feeling.
