Brief Answer:
Apply NIPCARE
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Its very uncommon and rare for a baby to avoid breatfeeding, this can happen only when there are any lesions or rashes over the nipple which can impart unacceptable taste.
Apply NIPCARE ointment to the nipples this will soothen the nipples and prevent infections or rashes of any type. Also you can apply a drop of pure honey to the nipples just before breast feeding.
If you are bottle or breast feeding while asleep then there is no worry in patting the baby to burp. Do XXXXXXX the baby whether you feed her in sleep or when awake. The increased crying could be due to hunger caused by frequent vomiting.
Hope, I answered your query.
Regards,
