Your Baby's Bottle-feeding Aversion: Reasons and Solutions - Paperback

Resolve Your Baby's Bottle-feeding Aversion

A feeding aversion (also called feeding refusal, strike, or phobia) is a fear of feeding. Babies can display signs of a feeding aversion from around 8 weeks of age. A feeding-averse baby can be hungry and yet scream and refuse to eat, or refuse to continue after eating very little. Some feeding-averse babies will eat better in a drowsy state or while sleeping - a time when their guard is down.

Proven Solutions for Feeding Refusal

In her book, 'Your Baby's Bottle-feeding Aversion', Rowena Bennett explains the reasons that healthy babies act like they would rather starve than eat. She also describes practical steps that parents can take to turn their avoidant feeder into a baby who becomes excited by the prospect of feeding and enjoys eating. On average it takes around two weeks (range 5 days to 3 weeks) to resolve a feeding aversion once you know the steps to take.
