Bottle Feeding Problems and Their Solutions
When a baby refuses to bottle feed, cries or turns its head away, does not swallow and spills instead, it is a sign that something is amiss.
Signs Your Baby Refusing Bottle-feeding
A breastfed baby refusing bottle feeding is relatively common, and it isn’t much cause for alarm. Following are some signs that your baby is refusing bottle feeding.
Starting to cry when approached with a bottle or placed in feeding position.
Constantly turning and shifting its head to avoid the bottle.
Falling asleep while feeding.
Spilling most of the milk from the sides of the mouth instead of swallowing.
Not closing its mouth when the nipple is inserted.
Closing its mouth when the nipple is inserted but not sucking.
Coughing and spitting out the milk.
Throwing up the milk.
Sucking a little milk and then refusing more.
Feeding very quickly or very slowly.
Not feeding the expected amount.
Common Bottle Feeding Problems and their Solutions
There are various reasons for a baby to refuse bottle feeding; the good news is that most of these reasons are behavioural in nature and can be addressed, sometimes, by simply observing the baby for vital clues. Given below are some common problems associated with bottle feeding and their solutions.
1. Misinterpreting Hunger
The most common and the most easily correctable problem related to bottle feeding is the misinterpretation of hunger by new moms. Babies tend to suck on their thumbs and other objects for various reasons other than being hungry. A baby may suck on things out of anxiety, boredom or simply being tired; many mothers misinterpret this reflex of hunger. Attempting to feed the baby based on this behaviour can result in the baby refusing to feed simply because it is not hungry.
What to Do
If the baby is refusing to feed, do not force it, accept that you may have misinterpreted and wait till the baby gives more clear clues of being hungry.
2. Misinterpreting/Miscalculating Feeding Amount
The second most common and easily correctable problem with regards to bottle feeding is miscalculating the amount of milk or baby formula a baby really needs. Sometimes parents make calculations based on expert opinion or simply guesstimate their baby’s daily requirement of milk or formula. And sometimes professionals make the mistake of not properly calculating requirements based on changing requirements as the baby is growing. Whatever the case maybe, if a baby has had enough and is not hungry, it will refuse to feed.
What to Do
Commonly estimated feeding suggestions are only approximate figures and can vary from baby to baby. Some babies feed more than others and some less. As noted above, wait till the baby gives more clear clues of being hungry.
3. Distracted Baby
Humans are naturally curious beings; this curiosity is apparent as early as four months from being born. Once a baby is four months or older, his curiosity makes him take more interest in everything around him. Other children playing, pets acting up, and even music and television can distract a baby and make it lose focus on feeding.
What to Do
If you feel your baby is distracted, turn of all sound sources such as television, music etc., better still is to find a quiet room without people, children or pets.
4. Tired Baby
A baby may refuse to bottle feed simply because it is tired. A baby that has not slept enough will tire quickly; while it is true that a hungry baby may sleep less, it is equally true for a baby deprived of sleep to avoid feeding. It will throw up a fuss, cry or fall asleep while feeding.
What to Do
Seek expert opinion on sleeping and feeding schedules, or create a balanced schedule to avoid overlapping sleeping time with feeding time. Also, ensure that your baby is getting enough sleep and try to feed the baby before it gets tired.
5. Individual Feeding Pattern
Like all mammals, humans tend to display individual personality types, behavioural patterns and feeding habits from very early in their life. Some babies like to consume large amounts of food at one go; others like to feed a little at a time but more often during the day. If your baby is frequently refusing to bottle feed, then it is prudent to consider that you may not have fully understood his/her individual feeding pattern. Constantly feeding a baby can put added stress on the mother. Ideally, a baby’s individual pattern should be respected, but if needed, an attempt can be made to gently and gradually encourage a change.
What to Do
A baby should be encouraged to feed much of what food it needs in about forty minutes, but given individual patterns, this should not be forced. Stop if the baby does not wish to continue. Another approach to a frequent feeding pattern is to try and create longer intervals between feeds. Encourage play or take the baby for an outing, or let it nap to gradually increase the time intervals between feeds.
6. Bottle Feeding Aversion
Some babies may develop an allergy to milk protein or may develop intolerance to milk or formula. There are many factors that may induce feeding aversions, such as certain physical or oral problems and reflux. Fortunately, most feeding aversions are a result of behavioural issues than actual physical problems or medical conditions.
What to Do
A feeding aversion can be a very complicated problem with no easy or straightforward solutions. If all else fails, then the only solution is to consult experts to try and identify the root cause of this aversion.
7. Night Feeding
Newborn babies need to be fed frequently and even at night. Avoid feeding a baby, that has reached six months, at night. If night feeding continues beyond six months it could result in a formula fed baby refusing bottle. This is no cause for alarm; it may simply be that the baby relies on feeding to fall asleep. Night time feeding will not harm the baby, but given that a baby needs only a certain amount of food every twenty-four hours, she may simply refuse to be bottle fed during the day.
What to Do
Once the baby has reached six months of age, parents should consider slowly and gradually discouraging nighttime feeding. This can be done by simply encouraging the baby to feed more during the day.
8. Solid Foods
In a perfect world, a baby should only be allowed solid food after six months of age. In some instances, some babies need solid foods earlier. Solid foods generally have more calories and nutrition. As a result, the baby may lose appetite for bottle feeding.
What to Do
For babies, less than six months of age avoid starting solid food. If you have already started feeding them try and reduce the quantity and if possible stop feeding solids food all together till the baby has crossed six months of age.
9. Difficulties With Transition to Bottle Feeding
If you have been breastfeeding your baby beyond three months of age, then there is a high probability that the baby will find it difficult to make the transition to bottle feeding. Everything from the difference in feeding action between bottle feeding and breastfeeding to the difference in the taste of formula and breast milk, can cause this problem.
What to Do
The easiest way is to begin by providing expressed breast milk in the bottle that way if the baby has a problem with taste, then that problem has been resolved, and the transition would be easier to achieve. If this does not work, then it is advisable to try different nipples.
10. Tightly Screwed Bottle
The bottle used for bottle feeding needs to maintain neutral pressure for the milk to flow smoothly. The milk emptying out of the bottle as a result of feeding will create a vacuum which needs to be filled with fresh air entering the bottle. If the milk bottle is not able to vent the baby will find it harder and harder to feed as the negative pressure builds up. Some babies will tire and fall asleep while others will simply stop trying. In some bottles, the air can enter only from between the rim of the bottle and the nipple ring, if the nipple is screwed too tightly on the bottle the venting required in the bottle will not take place.
What to Do
Check the bottle for proper venting, and airflow.
What to do If You Tried Everything But Still Your Baby Refuses Bottle?
If all the above has been tried and hasn’t worked there are a few other approaches that can be tried.
1. Create a Relaxed Atmosphere
Sometimes a baby may be unsettled for unknown reasons; a human baby is very perceptive and can detect stress in parents. As a rule, if the mum is calm and relaxed, the baby will be too and be more open to bottle feeding.
2. Allow the Baby to Get a Little Hungry
A baby that is not hungry will fuss over being fed. Too much hunger can cause ease and discomfort to a baby, but a little hunger will not harm the baby. Increase the time between feeding intervals and allow the baby to get a little hungry.
3. Let Someone Else Bottle Feed
Babies that are struggling to make the transition from breastfeeding to bottle feeding will not accept being bottle fed by the mother. It is advisable to encourage the father or another family member to take on the responsibility.
4. Proper Positioning for Bottle Feeding
If the baby is not in a comfortable position, he/she may refuse to bottle feed. It is essential to hold the baby a little upright with the head being positioned to be in a straight line with the body. The baby should be snuggled in your arms and also have support for its feet.
It can be very frustrating when parents are faced with babies refusing to bottle feed; thankfully the common problems associated with bottle feeding are simple with simple solutions. If all else fails then seeking medical advice is the last and best resort.

Whining in Children (Age Group - 3 to 6 Years) & Tips to Stop It
Parents face many behavioural issues with their kids and whining is one of the biggest issues that most parents experience. The constant whining of a child can not only be extremely irritating, but it can also become very difficult for the parents to manage. Why do children develop this kind of behaviour problems and is there something that you as a parent can do to modify your child’s habit? Learn more about this topic in detail in the following article.
Why Do Children Whine?
‘’Mommy I want this’’, Daddy I want to go there’’, ‘’pretty please’’ and many more such phases may be doing their rounds all through the day. Well, it is an innate quality of children, where some may do it sparingly others may have mastered the art. If you can't think of why your kid whines all the time, the good news is, you are not the only one sailing on this boat. There can be many reasons that can make your child whine and cry constantly. However, here we shall be discussing some of the common reasons:
1. The Child Lacks Proper Communication Skills
Can you ever imagine a life where you are not able to vocalize your feelings such as happiness, sadness, frustration, etc? It can seem frustrating and difficult and that is what a young child feels, especially at an age where he has not mastered the art of communication.
2. The Child Lacks Control
Sometimes children feel helpless or powerless when they lack or have no control over random day to day stuff. This makes them extremely uneasy and fussy and can give birth to whiny behaviour. They struggle to take control, but their inability may worsen the situation.
3. The Child Feels Overwhelmed
Unlike adults, young children are not good at handling stress. The normal school routine or doing certain things at home may make them feel overwhelmed. Inability to tackle everyday situations can make a child whiny.
4. Lacking Emotional Regulation
Where the frontal cortex of the human brain is fully developed in adults, it is not so in younger children, thus making them act or behave in a dramatic manner. This kind of childish behaviour is a result of the immature development of the brain, which is why when an adult whines or acts a certain way we call it childish behaviour.
5. When A Child Feels Unheard
One of the most common reasons for behavioural regression in children is due to the feeling of not being heard by their parents, teachers, caregivers or by anyone who is directly dealing with the child. Whenever the child tries to grab your attention by whining, make sure you listen or else it may worsen the situation.
6. When A Child Is Overtired
If a child gets tired by playing, studying or being up late at night, he may find refuge in whining. We try to keep our emotions under control during such times but kids are not always able to do so. Thus, they whine.
Tips to Deal with a Whiny Child
Under most situations, your child may stop whining when he becomes more sensible, aware and mature or in short words, as soon as he reaches adulthood. This clearly means that whining subsides with time, but many of us may have come across a whiny adult too at least once in our lives. Nevertheless, you can follow some simple tips to reduce whining or get your child to stop whining by following these tips:
1. Be A Good Listener
If you have a fractured connect with your child, make sure you heal it before it is too late. Lending an ear to your child and listening to whatever he is trying to put across can help deal with the whining issues. What is minuscule or trivial for you may be of grave importance to your child.
2. Find Out The Triggers
You need to establish what causes such behaviour in your child. Is extreme tiredness, lethargy, hunger or emotional outburst the culprit? Once you know the cause, you can make some amends or adjustments and help your kid deal with the issues in a better manner.
3. Let Your Kid Know That It Is Not Acceptable
If something is unacceptable, you have to make your child understand the same and this rule applies to his whining too. You should not give in to your child’s demands when he is whining and this will help him understand that his tantrums cannot be used for meeting his requirements.
4. Do Not React to Your Kid’s Whining
Once your child realizes that his behaviour gets to your nerves, you may find him using it as an excuse to meet up all his demands. In other words, your kid is wise enough to understand the concept of blackmailing. However, do not ignore your child, listen to him but do not agree to his demands until he stops whining.
5. Be Firm and Consistent
Once the ground rules are laid regarding the non-acceptance of whining, do not give in to your child’s demands thinking that it is okay to do so occasionally. The fact is, it is not okay and it will never be okay. If you have made a rule, stick by it.
6. Reward Nice Behaviour
Make sure whenever your child exhibits good or less whiny behaviour, you listen to your kid and appreciate him for being nice. Also, you can help your child learn how to behave nicely and what words or phrases to use in order to be heard. It can sometimes become a child’s nature to whine all the time, without him even realizing it.
7. Change Your Tone
If your child’s whining is something that is unacceptable to you, express that through your tone. Here we are not suggesting that you should scold your child, but you can increase your volume a few notches higher than usual. The aim is not to scare your kid to make him understand that his behaviour is not acceptable.
8. Try Distracting Your Kid
Sometimes when a child gets stuck on something, the best you can do is try distracting him. You can talk to your child about absolutely random things which can make him forget about the thing he had been crying about. Though it may work in most of the cases, you may have to exercise your discretion in this.
9. Be A Role Model
Sometimes parents are not aware that they may be whining too and this leads to the same behaviour in kids. Make sure you stay positive and happy around your kids without sulking or complaining about day to day issues. Your kid tries to emulate what he observes, therefore, be a good role model.
10. Pay Heed to Your Child’s Sleep
Sleep deprivation or lack of sleep is one of the main reasons that can turn your happy child into a whiny child. Ensure that your child goes to bed on time and sleeps well at night. Taking care of your child’s sleep may help keep this problem at bay.
We hope that you make use of these child whining advice tips and help your kid overcome this behaviour problem.
Common Child Whining Wind-Ups and How Parents Can Avoid It
Here are some ways of avoiding whining scenarios:
1. On The Road
Children often get restless and bored on the road trips. Boredom can make them reckless, irritable and may lead to sulking too. An excellent way of handling such situations is to be ready for it and in this case you can be prepared by keeping some games, toys or other equipment handy in order to keep your child entertained. The long car journey with your 5-year-old whining child may no longer remain a nightmare if you follow this simple rule of keeping your child engrossed in some interesting activity.
2. Setting A Bedtime Routine
Some children resist going to bed and may fuss whenever they are required to go to bed. This is because sleeping can be very boring for kids and this resistance for sleep can cause fatigue and tiredness which in turn leads to whining. In order to avoid this situation, you can set a bedtime routine for your kid, which can include bedtime reading, bedtime stories or other such practices.
3. Handling The Shopping Situation
In order to save yourself from your 3-year-old kid’s whining and tantrums during the shopping sessions, you should make sure that your child is well-fed and not tired. Also, when you are engrossed in the shopping, make sure that your kid occupied. You can ask him to fetch a few items for you, for example, tell him to fetch you vegetables or fruits on your trip to the supermarket.
Kids’ behavioural issues are not that difficult to handle or manage. With proper guidance and understanding, you may be able to help your kid overcome his whining issues.

Teaching Toddlers to Count Numbers: 1 to 10
Prepare your child for preschool by learning how to teach numbers to toddlers while making it fun at the same time. You can make a game out of learning numbers and use physical representations too. Find out how to use everyday things and experiences as teaching tools.
Children pick up things very quickly because they’re naturally curious. Whether it’s language skills, eating or developing motor skills, with the right encouragement, they absorb information rapidly. If you’re trying to teach anything new to your toddler then repetition is the key. It’s a good idea to help him learn some essential maths skills such as counting from 1 to 10 too as he gets ready to join play school.
Games for Teaching Numbers to Toddlers
1. Use Music
Kids learn things faster if they associate them with something enjoyable. Music is one of the best ways to teach numbers to toddlers, because it’s easy to memorise songs. Sing nursery rhymes related to numbers such as ‘1-2, buckle my shoe’, ‘5 little monkeys jumping on the bed’, and ’This old man’. Hold up your fingers for the number of characters in the rhyme. It’ll give your child an understanding of the concept of less and more.
2. Use Colours
Most children love colouring, so use it to your tot’s advantage. Draw the outlines of numbers on a large drawing pad, and let him colour them as he wishes to after he identifies the numbers. To connect each number to a certain figure, write a number and ask him to draw the corresponding number of things. For example, if you’re teaching him the number 4, ask him to draw 4 circles or 4 flowers.
3. Use Physical Representations
When planning counting lesson plans for toddlers, it’s important to keep in mind that apart from just learning the names of numbers, your toddler should also understand the idea of quantities, and numbers increasing and decreasing. Physically connect objects to each number. You can take candy for representation. With each number, show your child the corresponding amount of candies.
4. Play Games
Games are an excellent teaching tool. One of the activities for counting 1 to 10 for 2-year-olds is hopscotch. Children love jumping and hopping, and hopscotch gives them an outlet for their energy. Aside from helping them learn how to count, it also develops gross motor skills. Hide and seek is another good game to teach your child counting because the ‘den’ needs to count till at least 10. You can also ask your toddler to spot numbers on hoardings and price tags.
When Do Toddlers Learn to Count?
You can start introducing numbers as early as the age of 12 months by way of songs and nursery rhymes. Gradually, you can move to other counting activities and games. Create an environment that encourages creativity and exploration if you want his interest to be maintained.
Counting is the ability to recite numbers in order. There are learning opportunities everywhere around you, which you can take advantage of. It’s important to teach numbers to your toddler early on so that he has a quicker grasp of mathematics when he enters school. Read more
