I saw 3 babies duing early neonatal period who refuse to latch to the lactating breast although attachment and latching is done in proper way and no bottle has been provided to the babies. Milk secretion as per the age of baby is appropriate and non nutritive sucking is perfect. 3-4 sittings with mother and baby failed to sustain lactation although nipple condition is ok. What could be the cause of the abberation?
