If you were also giving him a bottle he may have liked the faster flow of the bottle. Also if you were nervous or stressed or just in a hurry for him to finish, this causes your milk to be less and more difficult to flow. If you did not have enough milk when he went through a growing spurt, drink a beer. The yeast in the beer makes your milk production abundant for him. If he has completely stopped nursing and you wish to restart, this is possible too. It will take alot of patience and probably a week or more for your milk to become plentiful for him. My doctor always told me, to at least have them weened before leaving for college. So don't listen to anyone that says he is too old.. nothing is better for your baby than breast milk.

He also may have an ear ache. Sucking can hurt when they have earaches and so they may stop. If it wasn't for very long, just a day, you may have eaten something he REALLY didn't like. And tjatherton is correct also. Whatever the cause, I would take him to see your pediatrician. At least then you can know for sure (well, at least more certainly) what is going on.
