You have to give us more details if you want an answer.
Will your baby not latch on to your breast?
Does your baby not want to take a bottle of pumped milk?
How old is your baby?
Have you had help from a Lactation Consultant or a La Leche League Leader?
Your question is too vague for us to be any help.
ETA............................................
You could try pumping for a couple of minutes in order to draw the nipple out prior to latching. (Do you have flat or inverted nipples?) If you don't have a pump or can't get one, you might try ice cubes to get your nipples to stand out more.
Have you worked with a Lactation Consultant or a La Leche League Leader in order to get baby to latch on? A LLL Leader will help you for FREE and may be willing to visit you at home.
Try nursing in the cross-cradle or football hold positions. These will give you more control over baby's head when you are trying to latch on.
Don't be timid with your baby when trying to get him latched on. Some moms are kind of "wimpy" about it because they are unsure. When he opens wide, pull him right in to the breast! And if he isn't opening wide, use a finger on his chin to pull down firmly while you tell him to "open" at the same time.

So many more questions...how old is this baby? if this is a newborn ...see if you can see the lactation consultant at the hospital where you delivered. Sometimes your health ins. will cover a LC visit to the house. Breastfeeding takes time to learn...you need to give it more time. A newborn babies stomach is the size of a chick pea...he doesnt need much milk! You need some extra help see about a Lactation Consultant or call local La Leche League leader for more advice.

the priority may be that he ever had a bottle. that's significant once you're breastfeeding to not introduce a bottle till the breastfeeding is easily popular. eating from a bottle might properly be lots much less stressful than from the breast on the start and to that end toddlers can like it in the event that they're given the prospect. you may desire to touch a lactation representative and get some help to work out in case you may get him to latch on. from time to time breastfeeding takes purely slightly paintings, notwithstanding if that's properly worth it. sturdy success!

Will all the morons please find a different category to post their stupid answers? Thank you.
I agree with the other "intelligent" answers. Call leleche, your local hospital's "ask a nurse", or your pediatrician.
My baby wouldn't breastfeed because (a) he had reflux and (b) I had been on high blood pressure medicine and it killed my milk supply. :(
Are you sure you're producing enough? Maybe baby is frustrated. Not sure how long you've been breastfeeding....that makes a big difference.
Good luck.

you know what some of these people CLEARLY have no manners and are just plain idiots, dont listen to them, try laleche league like suggested , because your statement is sorta vague. there could be a lot of reasons your baby wont take your milk, but with time patience and bonding it will soon go right. good luck hun.

It's probably full of crack cocain. The baby's the only smart one.
