I'm Vicky, a qualified breastfeeding counsellor and breastfeeding consultant, and I've breastfed my own three children well into toddlerhood. I've navigated allergies, mastitis, hospital admissions, NICU stays and breastfeeding after C-sections, so I know that breastfeeding doesn't always go exactly to plan. My aim is simple: To help you feel confident and supported, with a gentle, responsive plan to help your baby take a bottle within 2 weeks. x
When booking, please select the Monday of the week you would like to undertake the course. I will then be in touch to find a time and date as close to that week as possible.
I am here to help you 7 days a week and respond within 24 hours. Plus, you can find most answers to your questions right on this page.
There are many possible reasons a baby may refuse a bottle, including the teat, flow, timing, environment, milk or simply being unfamiliar with bottle feeding. We’ll look at your baby’s individual situation during your session.
We will look at the best bottle for your baby, the best way to introduce the bottle and by following my gentle 3 step approach we will reintroduce the bottle.
That’s okay. Rather than giving you another list of generic “bottle refusal tricks”, we’ll look at what you’ve already tried, what happened and what might be worth changing.
Every baby is different, but all babies I have worked with have been back taking a bottle within 2 weeks. The session gives you a clear plan and practical strategies to work through at home, with optional WhatsApp support if you’d like someone to guide you along the way.
We will discuss the best bottles to use, depending on your baby. We will also look at how to give the bottle.
