Why is my breastfed baby refusing a bottle?
Watch the video below to understand what's going on when your baby is struggling with bottle feeding.
Before your baby’s next feeding, gently place a clean finger pad-side up into your baby’s mouth.
Did your baby begin to suck?
- If yes: Your baby still has their automatic feeding reflexes.
- If no: That reflex may be reduced or integrated, which can affect bottle feeding.
Either result gives you useful information.
If breastfeeding feels easy but bottle feeding has been a struggle, this reflex information matters more than most parents are told.
Bottles on Purpose teaches you how to work with your baby’s natural feeding reflexes so bottle feeding can become calm, effective, and manageable, often in just a few days.
