What to Do When Your Breastfed Baby Won’t Take a Bottle (Introducing a Bottle, Part 3)
Bottle refusal is incredibly hard for breastfeeding parents. Learn how to help your baby take a bottle, and what to do if they won’t.
As a International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and PMH-C (Perinatal Mental Health Certified) in Wayland, Massachusetts, I meet you where you are (literally- we meet virtually or at my office in Wayland) and provide you with the lactation, breastfeeding, bottle feeding, formula feeding, and/or chestfeeding support and tools you need. Whether you are expecting a baby or having trouble nursing, pumping, bottle feeding, or weaning, I can help– after all, breastfeeding only works if it’s working for both parent and baby! I’ve worked with over 2,000 families in person in MetroWest Massachusetts, and virtually across the country (35 states and counting!) and I can help your family, too.
I offer a range of lactation and bottle feeding services virtually or at my office in Wayland, MA and am available to my clients 7 days a week. Learn more about my visits here or click here to learn more about me and my training.
