I haven't experienced it personally but it sounds like a nursing strike to me, here is a link (http://www.storknet.com/cubbies/breast/AS-nursingstrike.htm)

Good luck

teething can do it , same as wind , my lil one does this some times to , i just keep her amused , she wont starve her self she will eat when she is ready :)

My 5mo did exactly the same thing! I ended up feeding her when she was asleep ( I was exhausted!!) and on day 4 had a nurse in and stayed in bed for skin to skin half the day and carried her in th ergo for the rest of the day. Day 5 she started recoveing and now a week later she is back to normal. Thankgoodness!

Could be:

Teething

Return of periods (my bub refuses breast every month Grrr)

Ear infection.....
