How can I trick my baby into breastfeeding?

Skin-to-skin cuddles. If you’ve been feeding baby fully-clothed (both of you) and/or swaddled, try placing baby against your skin dressed in nothing but a diaper (under a blanket if it’s chilly). And speaking of skin, don’t wash your nipples or areolas for now—the idea is to let your baby sniff out that food source.

Why does my newborn push away from my breast?

Since the breast is continually producing milk, your baby may be able to drink again on that side. Sometimes babies pull away from the breast and fuss because the milk is flowing too fast. If this is the case, you may find that your baby pulls away soon after starting to feed and just as the milk is letting down.
