Disclaimer: This video is not meant to diagnose or to give medical advice. I'm explaining different reasons that could contribute to your baby's bottle refusal. I've dealt with bottle aversion myself and I have a process that worked for others as well, but It's up to you and your pediatrician to diagnose your baby and find the right solution for her. I'm simply offering my experience.
What is bottle-feeding aversion?
The baby is avoiding the bottle because she has had unpleasant or painful feelings linked to it. She is refusing to eat entirely or eats very little each time.
It usually begins with a reaction to the bottle itself. Suppose parents don’t recognize the signs of bottle aversion and keep doing the same thing as before. In that case, the baby will start to react adversely even before the feeding begins.
The signs of bottle aversion:
- Skipping feedings without fuss.
- Showing hunger cues but not eating.
- They are beginning to eat but consuming very little and stopping abruptly. They may arch their back and cry or turn their head away or chew on the nipple.
- When the bottle is presented, shutting their mouth and turning their head away.
- When put in a feeding position or when a bib is placed on them or when they see the bottle, they scream.
- Eating only in their sleep (dream-feeding).
The most common cause of bottle aversion:
Force-feeding: pressuring the baby to feed. This was my case. I was worried about my daughter’s growth and forced her to take the bottle. With loving intentions, of course.
