Is your baby refusing to latch, screaming every time you try to feed her, and you're sick of the battle? You're not alone. Let's learn what to do when your baby refuses to nurse, hates breastfeeding, or won't latch.

Jaimie Z. IBCLC answers a listener's urgent question: "Why does my baby pull off the breast and cry during feedings?" She unpacks what’s really happening when a baby seems frustrated, and shares practical, compassionate strategies to get feeding back on track.

You'll learn how to recognize early feeding cues before baby becomes upset, calming techniques like the "magic baby hold," and how adjusting your feeding positions can make a world of difference. Jaimie also tackles factors like reflux, fast or slow milk flow, and how a baby’s nervous system regulation impacts latching success.
