My son is six months old. He used to have difficulty nursing, and his latch was unstable. About a week before turning six months, he started wriggling near the breast, whimpering, and not latching on. He did eat before bedtime, though. Two days ago, his lower teeth started to come through, and he began refusing the breast altogether. He is cheerful and sleeps well. He only nurses for a short time, taking only foremilk, then becomes upset. I give him a pacifier and he falls asleep right away. If I remove the pacifier and try to nurse again, he wakes up and cries. He nurses only at night. I bring my breast toward him, but not for long. I don’t understand what’s happening. Is this something to do with the teeth? Could he be hungry?

Is it possible to give a baby too much solid food?

Ulyanka We're only getting started... He won't even eat half a jar.

Ulyanka Well, sleep around this age isn't great for me either, since she was so restless after seven months 😑 and started asking for the breast.
At this age, a child won't fall asleep hungry.
Just to be safe, check inside the mouth for any stomatitis or similar issues.
It's still the cold season after all…

Ulyanka The pediatrician examined her yesterday. Her mouth is clean 🤷.

My daughter is six months old and has also started refusing to breastfeed during the day. I'm feeding her at night only; during the day I pump and give her milk from a bottle with formula.

Ulyanka 😑 Our baby might be having a hard time. I've been trying to check by gently opening his mouth, but I'm not sure what I'm looking for. It seems the only way to tell what's wrong is to eliminate possibilities. 😑 Maybe his tummy is upset because of the new complementary foods 🤔. We could try stopping the complementary feeding for a while. There’s a lot of bubbling in his tummy, though my other babies tolerated it fine (I started with dairy-free cereals).
