In this episode of Early Momming Podcast, Hillary and Erica dive into a topic many moms face but few talk about: feeding aversions in babies. Whether you're struggling with bottle refusal, challenging breastfeeding moments, or just want to avoid these issues altogether, this episode is for you.

Hillary, a labor and delivery nurse, feeding specialist, and mom of four, breaks down:

What feeding aversions are and how they differ from oral aversions.

Signs of a feeding aversion and how to recognize them early.

The common causes of feeding aversions, including forceful feeding, stress, and negative feeding associations.

How to prevent feeding aversions, with actionable tips like paced bottle feeding and establishing a stress-free routine.

Why a full feed doesn’t always mean a large volume—and how to meet your baby's needs effectively.

The episode also highlights the Baby Settler Method, a holistic approach to feeding and sleep that empowers parents to create predictable, low-stress routines while setting their babies up for success in both eating and sleeping.
