@drgolly: Offering your bottle rejecting baby a bottle feed during relaxed and calm moments, rather than when your baby is overtired or fussy, can improve acceptance. It’s certainly easier said than done, but it’s also really important that whoever is offering the bottle isn’t stressed or anxious - remember that our BABIES DRINK MORE THAN MILK. They pick up on all our emotions. Try to approach offering a bottle with every bit of positive energy you can muster - being calm as you offer the bottle is the number one thing we can do to combat bottle rejection. Even if this isn’t how you feel at all - fake it until you make it! If you are relaxed, persistent and calm your baby will get there eventually. Bottle rejection/refusal has recently been overhauled in my program. If you’re suffering through this at the moment, let’s get it sorted together.
