Babies will sometimes just go through a little period of not eating. If he appears to be acting fine, isn't cranky or in any apparent discomfort then he may just not be hungry. If he won't drink for one feeding, he will probably eat at his next scheduled feeding time or before. It is not likely a serious matter such as an allergy or intolerance to his milk if he does not have bloating, gas, crying, rash, or agitation of any kind. Since you have an appointment for him in the morning, try to relax with him and just monitor him for any other changes. He may be developing a little cold perhaps and just doesn't feel much like eating right now.

He does not like milk do not feed it to him. Cow milk is very bad for human babies it is made for a calf that is a lot bigger that a human infant and needs to grow a lot faster.
Milk is also a allergen to a lot of people. foods like milk corn soy wheat, are very hard to digest. If you are unable to breast feed your son use a formula the formula is designed to be a suitable replacement to breast milk

U need to consult a doctor about this, kids are funny and sometimes they may be telling us something we dont know ie he's allergic to milk, or the type is giving him bad gas, stomach pains, best to ask a pediatrician.

could have a soar throat. Sudden changes in apatite are reason to take him to the doctor. If he is otherwise fine, wetting diapers and not lethargic or in distress, then take him to the clinic in the morning, otherwise, get to an emergency room.

His pediatrician might recommend soy milk, my son did the same, are you breastfeeding and switching to formula?
They are picky about it!
Good luck.

Try different nipples, and if that doesn't work try different formulas.
It is essential that a baby get the proper nutrition, they do a lot of growing and developing the first year.

He'll eat when he's hungry. Also, I hope you mean breastmilk or formula and not regular milk.

How often are you feeding? How much is he taking in? If in doubt, contact his pediatrician.
