What Could Cause Sudden Refusal To Breast Feed During The Day?

Hi, My daughter is 10 months old. She was on breast feed till 3 days back. Now, suddenly she has stopped taking my milk during day time n takes only in night while asleep. In day time whenever I try to offer, she bites me n refuses ! What should I do so that her milk in-take remains proper ? Pls advice.

Hi, thanks for asking.
I can understand your concerns.
In my opinion if the child does not want to breast feed then we should not force her. Your milk supply will be good if you continue night feeding. You may also try feeding her during her day nap time.If she if eating properly then you should not worry
I hope I have helped you.
Thank you
