Infant Bottle Feeding and Bottle Refusal

Feeding Specialists at KLC Pediatric Therapy: Your Child's Bottle Feeding Expert

Is your infant struggling with bottle feeding or refusing the bottle altogether? Our feeding specialists at KLC Pediatric Therapy can help. We understand the challenges parents face when their babies aren't feeding as expected and offer a range of services to address bottle feeding issues, including bottle refusal.

Our Approach:

  • Comprehensive Evaluation: We begin with a thorough evaluation to identify the underlying causes of your child's feeding difficulties. This may involve assessing oral motor function, swallowing reflexes, sensory sensitivities, or other factors.

  • Tailored Therapy: Based on our evaluation, we develop a personalized feeding therapy plan that addresses your child's specific needs. Our therapy sessions may include strategies to improve oral motor skills, sensory processing, and feeding behaviors.

  • Expert Consultation: Our feeding specialists are available for consultations to provide guidance and support. We can offer advice on bottle selection, feeding positions, nipple flow rates, and other feeding-related concerns.

Helping Infants with Bottle Refusal:

Bottle refusal can be a frustrating experience for both parents and infants. Our feeding specialists can help by:

  • Identifying the Cause: We'll work to determine the reason behind your child's refusal, which could be due to pain, discomfort, sensory issues, or other factors.

  • Offering Strategies: We'll provide practical strategies to encourage your child to accept the bottle, such as trying different bottles, nipples, or feeding positions.

  • Addressing Underlying Issues: If there are underlying medical or developmental concerns contributing to bottle refusal, we can work with your pediatrician or other healthcare providers to address them.
