Hello Dr. Rishu,
Thank you for your reply. But Everything like this has been tried. It is not working.
I was keen to know whether such thing anyone has seen during their practice. What could be a possibility... Any behavioral disorder in child?

Breasts are full of milk, ample milk supply. Baby refuses to take nipple in mouth when awake. Baby turns head away from the nipple. We have already explained her to express the breast milk & feed baby with spoon.
