If you're struggling with bottle refusal as you get ready to return to work, you're probably getting SO MUCH advice. Your cabinet is also probably filled with 15 different types of bottles - and none of them have been the answer.

Good news is that help is here!

And the first thing I want you to know, is that you did not cause this by delaying the bottle introduction, not offering it enough, or anything else you can try to blame on your or someone else.

Bottle refusal happens and I can explain why it might be happening with your baby. I can also help you find where to begin and how to create positive practice and build intake, no matter what your timeline looks like.

I've got you 💜🍼👶 Schedule a consult today and let's turn this around!

IT'S HERE!!! Newly updated with more information on gagging/choking and how to add allergens into your solids journey!

I learn most from the parents I work and truly want to create the resources you need whether you have an easygoing baby or one who is more sensitive. This is the most popular topic, but there are several more to come 😊

Understanding your baby's needs in feeding is key, but so is noticing what might be coming up for you in this experience.

The next in-person class is not until October, so take advantage of this self-paced, online course made just for you!

There are 5 modules, each lasting between about 10-25 minutes each, so you can watch when you have small pockets of time, watch the most important modules to you first, and go back to it as many times as you need.

You will also receive Bonus Materials inside the course - printable resources to help you along the way.

Inside is also a FANTASTIC offer for 50% off a virtual consultation with me anytime after you've taken the course! This will provide you with an opportunity to have all of your specific questions answered and make sure you and baby are staying on track!

This additional 20% OFF coupon will only be available through this Friday, so please share and pass it on to family/friends in the area or out of state!

Head to the link in my bio NOW to purchase this course for just under $40!!

Thank you for your support and Happy Feeding! 💜 Stacia
