Turn Down Breast milk

Starting yesterday, Richie turned down breast milk when mommy wanted to breastfeed him.
He just stared at mommy and mommy's breast and didn't want to suck.
Then last night, he never touch mommy's breast when he suddenly cranky around 3am 'cos of blocked nose, mommy offered him breast milk to soothe him. But he rejected completely.

This morning, when he's sleepy, usually he will fall a sleep during breast feeding but when mommy offer him again. He simply turn it down and prefer carried by mommy to bring him to sleep.
Well, perhaps it's the time he wants to completely wean off from breast milk
That will be a good and bad news. Good news, mommy would be able to sleep through the night and he will be more independent. Bad news, his milk intake need to be increased even though he's not a "milk person"

His daily intake is now around 380ml of cows milk
One in the morning 140ml and another one is at night before sleeping 140ml. And mommy gave him yoghurt 60ml and milk pudding.
Mommy need to add one more feeding in the afternoon so at least he takes 500ml of milk daily.
