Alert | Most likely it is just a nursing strike. Keep offering the breast, but don't force it - strikes can last up to a week. Your milk is not likely to dry up. Keep pumping when he would usually nurse. Offer other liquids has he needs.
Is there a chance you may be pregnant again? Sometimes that will change the taste of the milk and the kids will stop nursing because of the flavor difference. . . just something to consider.

Alert | I'd say that is a good indication of NOT. Just keep offering the breast at usual feeding times. Don't offer other stuff during those times - just the breast. Allow other food at other times. Sometimes allergies, ear aches and even teething pain can cause a nursing strike.
