What do you do if your baby stops drinking my milk? Stephanie, my baby girl, suddenly stops drinking my milk. What do I do? She is only a couple of month old. I'm worried.

Maybe you ate something that changed the way your milk tastes. Excessive exercise and medications can change the way your milk tastes. Do you use soap or lotion on your breasts? You should only wash them with water and use food grade lanolin for moisturizer. Did you change deodorant or start wearing perfume? All of these things can turn a baby off. If all else fails keep trying because it could just be a phase. She won't let herself starve, and as long as you don't give her any choice but the milk (instead of formula) she'll come back to the breast. Good luck!

Don't change HER diet, change YOURS. You may have eaten something her body (or palate) doesn't agree with, and as I'm sure you know your breast milk taste changes with what you eat. In the meantime use whatever breastmilk you have stored up from before until yours is acceptable to her again.
Good luck!

If she is a newborn she shouldn't be drinking cow's milk?!?!?! If you are talking about breast milk then switch to a formula....Either way you should be talking to the pediatrician!!!
Good Luck :-)

Thats not right. If she has missed 2 feeds get her to the docs ASAP.

Keep trying or try giving her some formula. Maybe she wants a change.
