Doctor my baby is 8 months,but she has refused to...

What is the treatment for refusal to breastfeed?
In fact, there are some reasons that may cause the child to not want to breastfeed, which will be mentioned later, but we emphasize on the importance of breastfeeding the child because as it benefits the child and provides him with the nutrients necessary for his growth, and it also benefits the mother in terms of preventing breast cancer as well. Increases the spiritual bond between mother and child. You can return to breastfeeding by increasing maternal emotional skin-to-skin contact between you and the baby, placing the baby for longer periods of time near the breast, in addition to the necessity of removing milk from the breast and putting it in the bottle and breastfeeding it while trying to help the baby to breastfeed. It is also possible to return to breastfeeding. Try to breastfeed the baby when he is sleeping lightly, as he may breastfeed with unconscious behavior, which helps in this.

Medical tests that can be done:
A clinical medical examination and knowledge of the child’s medical history can be carried out by a specialist pediatrician, in order to rule out the presence of respiratory infections.

Causes of breastfeeding refusal:

• Use of artificial milk
• Weak maternal communication between the child and the mother
• The child suffers from constipation
• Respiratory infections in children
• other reasons

Recommendation:
We recommend that you follow the instructions mentioned above, including the possibility of seeing a specialist pediatrician for examination and follow-up.
