Q: Bottle aversion
asked by: edmontonmum on March 30th, 2009

My nearly 5-month old baby girl was diagnosed with reflux at 3 months. She was on Zantac, which didn't show any improvements. At the beginning of the month, she was put on Losec. Her reflux seems to be better, but she has developed severe bottle aversion. She will only take the bottle while sleeping. During her wake hours, she will fight the bottle, cry and scream as soon as the bottle is brought close to her.

As per the doctors advice, we started her on solids, which she seems to enjoy. Only problem is, she's been fussier and sometimes vomits afterward.

How long will it take for her to get over the aversion, if at all? We've tried changing bottles, and nipples. We've tried sippy cups, but that would take a lot of practice for her to get a hang of it. What can we do?
