When a baby refuses to bottlefeed it can be stressful for everyone.  Whether members of the family simply want to help with feeding baby or mom is returning to work, bottle refusal can be frustrating for all.

 

During this consultation a lactation consultant will review and assess baby’s bottlefeeding history and will observe and assess infant’s oral function as it relates to refusing the bottle.  An individual plan for your baby will be developed for working on his/her oral function, as well as techniques for offering the bottle, to assist in moving toward bottlefeeding success.
