As a mother of six children and a previous labor and delivery nurse, I was stumped when my 5 month old baby refused a bottle. I was becoming frustrated. While I love breastfeeding her, I desperately needed to be able to attend meetings and some functions without her in tow.
Bottles on Purpose for the win! It was a gentle and effective way of teaching her to drink from a bottle, and has given me the freedom I need while still being able to breastfeed her most of the time. Shannon was so supportive and encouraging, and I can’t thank her enough!
My daughter had been exclusively breastfed until I was preparing to return to work. We had begun trying bottles about 2 weeks prior and she wanted nothing to do with them. I felt like we had tried everything!
After watching your training videos, I realized we had been doing a lot of things right, but were missing a piece. I decided I would initiate the experience and she took 3 oz on the first bottle! She took 2 more 2 oz bottles during the day, and has already taken 3 oz today.
I am so relieved! I have loved being able to breastfeed and plan to continue, but it’s so nice to know that she will be able to eat well when I can’t be with her.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, we are so grateful.
I was at my wits end, especially since I go back to work next week. After trying 20+ bottles, 2 lactation consultants, 2 occupational therapists, chiropractor, craniosacral therapy, tongue tie revisions I searched ‘bottle refusal’ on Instagram and one of the Bottles on Purpose reels came up.
After taking Bottles on Purpose, he started taking a bottle on Day 1! We couldn’t be more relieved that I can now go back to work knowing he is able to happily eat from the bottle. All the information provided is clear, easy to follow, and backed by her extensive research and knowledge. Highly, highly recommend!
We are so grateful to have found the Bottles on Purpose program. Our little one started rejecting bottles at 2 months old and we spent the next 2 months trying every solution we could find. We tried all the “tricks,” all the bottles, craniosacral therapy, and a lactation consultant that specialized in bottle refusal. None of it worked.
A friend’s OT recommended Bottles on Purpose so we decided to give it a try. It was definitely challenging but so so worth it. On the second day, we reached out to Shannon and she immediately jumped on a call to help troubleshoot. She continued to provide guidance and much needed moral support over text while we worked through the program.
I’m thrilled to say we graduated successfully and our little one is taking bottles again with ease. It feels like a miracle after all the struggles we had. Thank you Shannon!!
After 4 months of not being able to get my baby girl to take a bottle and driving back and forth to daycare to feed her for almost a month, I was desperate. This is when my pediatrician mentioned Bottles on Purpose. We took the quiz, watched the videos and started the very next day, and my baby was taking a bottle within 12 hours with the guidance we got from Bottles on Purpose!!
Y’all, I was hesitant to spend the money because kids are expensive but I’d spend it 100x over with how quick and effective it was. Thank you to Bottles on Purpose for helping our girl, and now she is 7 months old and has ZERO problems taking a bottle of any sort and still breast feeds like a champ. 10/10 recommend
I decided to invest in the Bottles on Purpose program and I'll be honest, I was a little skeptical but was willing to try something different than just googling or asking in mommy groups on Facebook what I could do differently...
On the second day, the first feeding he took 1 ounce without much fuss.I wasn’t sure my “luck” would last, but the next feeding, he took another 2 ounces without a problem. We decided to try a 4 ounce bottle before going back to breastfeeding for the night and he took 3.5 ounces before he got full! We were jumping up and down with joy.
On the third day, he had successfully taken three 4-ounce bottles. Without fuss. Without discomfort. It really was so amazing to see.
It brings me a lot of peace knowing he will still have a full belly, even if I’m not there to feed him.”
This course gave me my life back! I honestly was so skeptical, but optimistic after talking to Shannon. I'm so happy that I don't have to worry if I am out of the house and someone else can feed her or supplement more from breastfeeding if I don't think she's getting enough.
Literally amazing course!
My baby refused a bottle but after working with Bottles on Purpose she took a bottle for feedings. I had tried lactation consultants, read everything and tried everything before Bottles on Purpose! It had so much information for me and my baby! I didn't feel lost after Bottles on Purpose!
Day 3 completed! He’s taking a bottle seamlessly!
I really want to thank you so much for creating such an easy to follow and credible program that WORKS. This has created such a sense of relief for our family. Thank you!
I will definitely be recommending this to others. ❤️🙏🏻
Things are going great! My son is very reliably taking 2 bottles a day which is awesome! We're going to stay here until I go back to work. Thank you so much for the help. I was so stressed about going back to work and it is such a relief knowing he will be fed!
Thing I loved about Bottles on Purpose
1. Shannon was SO responsive and immediate, in the moment you’re desperate and so stressed you need immediacy.
2. The videos were so simple to follow and to the point.
3. Personally, I just needed to be told what to do and a clear step by step and this was exactly that!
4. It WORKS!
5. Shannon is amazing!
I cannot thank you enough for this program. My daughter was 5 months and 3 weeks and some days so I was somewhat skeptical as she could scream anytime I brought the bottle to her mouth, was big enough to swat the bottle away, etc. but after 1.5 days of your protocol we were given so much hope as she started to increasingly take more ounces from the bottle. After 2 weeks out from doing the protocol she takes her bottle with ease! Even now I get nervous sometimes giving her a bottle thinking she won't take it but she does with no problem!
I can't thank you enough. I just wish I would have learned about your course sooner! What a game changer for us. Praising God for you!
One of my favorite parts about [Bottles on Purpose] is that it gave me, the breastfeeding mom, the tools and empowerment to feed my daughter, and we got to ditch the outdated advice that I was the problem or needed to leave the house for my daughter to eat.
I wanted to tell you bottles feedings have been successful...and she took them like a champ!
You are a life saver(literally) since I wasn’t going to do this urgent surgery if she didn’t take the bottle! Thank you so much!!
"The Bottles on Purpose method and Shannon were extremely useful for me and my baby! She had a tongue and lip tie that wasn't caught until she was 10 weeks. She had been refusing bottles and I tried everything! Once it was corrected she continued to refuse bottles as now a learned behavior/not having the experience. Doing the 3 day bottles on purpose method seemed too good to be true and I was skeptical after all the refusal I had experienced. But the reasoning seemed sound and it completely worked! We did it right before I had to send her to daycare for the first time. It was a life saver for us and truly the only way I was able to get her to take a bottle so I could go back to work. Shannon was a pleasure to work with, so helpful, and so kind. I will definitely recommend to any mama struggling with bottles refusal or just wanting a sure fire way to implement bottles."
I sit here holding Reese with a little less anxiety, and little more hope and a lot of gratitude for Shannon and her wisdom through the Bottles on Purpose program.
I was skeptical going into the program but during a call with Shannon before starting she said something made me click the start button. I questioned what if it didn't work. To which she responded you are in no different position than you are right now.
We had tried OT, pediatric chiropractor, different bottles, different people, different environments...all in the hopes of getting her to take a bottle. It simply wasn't working.
What I loved about this program is it quickly and efficiently teaches you how to feed your baby a bottle. Dedicate one hour of learning and a few days of implementation. To my surprise our baby took a 4 ounce bottle the very first time we offered it "Bottles on Purpose" way. And she took it from me....the person they say a baby will never take a bottle from.
I highly recommend this program to anyone struggling with having their baby take a bottle. If you are looking for a sign to give it a try...consider this it
Another full bottle!! It's such a huge improvement that I'm truly emotional 😭 I genuinely cannot thank you enough! I don't know what stars aligned for me to find you but, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for your kindness, encouragement, knowledge, and guidance!
