E153. How to get your baby to take a bottle

Bottle Refusal in Breastfed Babies With Bec Hodgson So you nail your breastfeeding and decide to introduce a bottle to your baby, either expressed breast or formula milk. Perhaps you are returning to work or required to be away from baby for a period of time. You’ve seen videos of babies happily sucking away on a bottle and expect the same from your little one. But they say no thank you to the bottle and you find yourself purchasing every bottle going in desperation. I am speaking from personal experience here, you are most definitely not alone, bottle refusal can feel both frustrating and challenging. This week I am joined by Bec Hodgson, a Lactation Consultant and practicing midwife. I am also delighted that Bec is the resident Lactation consultant on my Exclusive YPJ Course at Midwife Pip and if there is someone who knows plenty about the issue of bottle refusal in breastfed babies it is Bec so I am delighted to be picking her brains on here for you all today.  Extra Stuff: Midwife Pips Guide to a Positive Birth: https://www.midwifepip.com/midwife-pip-books Check out Midwife Pip’s Courses - http://www.midwifepip.com/ Get in Touch: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/midwife_pip Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/midwifepip Email: https://www.midwifepip.com/contact-us Enjoy Listening... and don't forget to subscribe!  Midwife Pip x  Learn more about your ad choices.
