Anyone else's baby randomly just not taking the boob?

LO 13 weeks, ebf. All of a sudden today I tried to feed him like normal and he kept screaming everytime my boob went near him?! I cleaned it thinking it might have deodrant or something on it by accident....but still screaming. Anyone else??

My little on has days when she’s super fussy on the boob. I just leave it and try again in half an hour or so… could be wind, uncomfortable position or just not hungry? X

He's feeding from the other boob, so I'm not sure why he won't take the other side

Mine also seems to do this sometimes!! Could be gas pain at times so I always try and burp him or walk around with him cos I seem to get more burps from walking around with him somehow haha. Then I’ll swap sides and see if it helps too! X

Teething? Maybe his teeth hurt

Mine does this sometimes, it’s usually the left he refuses and has done so from birth. I try changing positions and that usually helps, otherwise I just pump for a day or two, but keep trying and after a couple days at most, he’ll be back happily feeding from it again.

Mine was like that earlier in the week. Think her ear was hurting as would take that side ok if lying down to feed. Have you tried a a different position?
