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. 🤍

Meet a feeding therapist if you can. Sometimes a third perspective is needed
