Question
Why does a four-month-old baby cry while breastfeeding in a cradled position but not when lying down?
Answer
It could be because the baby is not accustomed to the cradled breastfeeding position, or there might be inflammation or discomfort in the mouth. It’s also possible that the baby finds lying down to breastfeed more comfortable. It is recommended that parents observe the baby’s condition more closely and adjust the feeding position accordingly. You can try holding the baby for feeding to help them get used to it.
