This is a question parents ask numerous health professionals while searching for a solution.

Consequently, many parents don’t receive an effective solution from the health professionals they consult. This is why this book is so necessary.

In Your Baby’s Bottle-feeding Aversion, Rowena describes the various reasons babies display aversive feeding behavior, explains how the reader can identify the cause, and describes effective solutions. Included are step-by-step instructions on how to resolve a behavioral feeding aversion that occurs as a result of being repeatedly pressured to feed - the most common of all reasons for babies to become averse to feeding.
