Psychology
Feeding a baby reflects the sense that you are nourishing something: juniors, a creative project, even yourself. If the baby drank well, your care is reaching its target.
Folklore and history
Milk has been honored as life-giving in many cultures. In Japan there are customs of praying for ample milk and local lore of trees or stones said to answer such prayers, showing how nurture and prayer were linked.

This site's view
In this site's view, a baby that refused to drink deserves attention. What you offer may not match what is truly needed. Also check whether the giver, you, is being worn down.
Going deeper: our reading
Small details around feeding reveal your state of mind. Testing the milk's temperature on your wrist shows, in this site's reading, that careful attention to another's needs comes naturally to you. Panicking because it was too hot or cold suggests you have not yet found the right measure between what they need and what you give. Waking again and again at night to feed suggests a supporting role is slowly eating into your rest. Family or friends stepping in shows comfort that you can share the work of nurturing; carrying on alone may mean hesitation to rely on others is deepening your fatigue. A baby falling asleep content shows quiet proof that your efforts truly satisfy. The dream may visit people caring for juniors or family. This is our speculation, but if you felt hungry while feeding, it is your turn to be filled.
What to do on waking
Ask someone you care for what they actually need, and give yourself one nourishing meal today.
