Hi
I have a 5 month old boy who has been breastfeeding quite well, but over the past week has started to refuse to feed. It doesn't happen all the time, but when it does, he just starts to scream and pull his head back and gets so upset that he tends to fall asleep through exaustion. He is teething, but that isn't new. He has been teething since he was about 12 wks and it has never been a problem until now. Any suggestions on how i can go back to the peaceful feeds we were having before, or how to calm him when he gets upset. I just feel so helpless!
