Bottle Aversion / Feeding Refusal ❌ Bottle Aversion Is Slowly Breaking Me

I never thought feeding my baby would become something that makes me cry every day. After a difficult pregnancy, birth, reflux/CMPA worries and so many challenges, I always stayed positive… but bottle aversion is breaking me in ways I didn’t expect.

The thought that this can last for months makes me so anxious and sad. I feel like I’m losing myself and even losing the calm connection I had with my baby. I’m trying my absolute best, reading everything, learning every method, watching every wake window and feeding cue… but some days I feel completely defeated.

Please tell me there is light at the end of this tunnel. 🤍

Just putting my 2 cents in, I thought my baby had bottle aversion and I tried EVERYTHING.
Then I bought the brand NUK and everything changed and now he sculls his milk and within a few weeks looks the healthiest he’s been since birth. It would be worth a shot to try? Anyway that’s what worked for me

Actually OP I would suggest trying this. Changing formula is the first step to try, and its often ignored. Even our feeding therapist didnt suggest it. One of my friends did. It didnt work for me but it did work for one of my friends.
