Baby refuses to nurse
My 5 mo old has been refusing to nurse for about a week now ?? she just wants to take the bottle she had not done that at all. Even when I went back to work she took bottle well and nursed in the afternoon and at night no problem ... but nothing seems to be working any tips?? Maybe it's teething ? , idk what's going on she just screams and is so mad until we give her the bottle. She hadn't had any nipple confusion. ???

Sometimes if babies get a bottle with a fast flow they might get frustrated when they nurse because your flow isn't as fast or you're not getting an immediate letdown. You could try hand compressions while you're nursing, or pump a little bit right beforehand, to help with those things. Here's info on breast compressions: ссылка
This is about the time that they become more aware of what's going on. Your baby may be distracted or want to have to bottle so she can watch things better. You could try nursing her in a dark room to cut out the distractions.
This could also be a nursing strike: ссылка - make sure you pump to keep up your supply and don't give up!!!
Update! We are back to our normal nursing routine! ??
