Bottle aversion

@Paige yes I have. I tried two faster flow rates I guess whatever you call them. I used the evenFlo bottles because I was told they are the most breast like. I tired other bottles like dr browns but he didn’t take to those either
@Gabby oh no! I’m not sure what else to suggest then lovely, have you spoken to any care providers?
@Paige no I haven’t. I think I’m gonna do that Monday.
I hated the bottle aversions.. also food aversions with one child(the aversions lasted with that one child). It was the worst time of my life and I don’t want to go thru it again. There’s not much you can do! It’s not about changing anything really. Go back to one of them! Or try pigeon bottle. And wait for hunger queues.. don’t feed on a schedule or anything. Feed on demand. Make sure they are hungry enough to eat. Some people use syringe and or spoons. We didn’t give up on the bottle. We went back to one of them and baby took it..it wasn’t the formula either. It’s just they already have a bad relationship with feeding. It’s best you go see a feeding therapist. We didn’t use one but I was desperate. We just had to hang on for the ride. Make her start holding her own bottle early etc…make her feed herself. Make her more independent and teaching her early helped us a lot!!!once she could hold her bottle and feed herself, it was a big win!
@Lis | mommy of 3 thank you for the advice
Have you changed the teat on the bottle? I think around 3/4 months they can take more liquid in so they go up a teat
