Newborn Feeding, Breastfeeding Struggles & Bottle Refusal Explained

Season 1 · Episode 3

Tuesday, June 9, 2026 • Duration 01:04:28

If breastfeeding, bottle feeding, latch, weight checks, or bottle refusal have ever felt overwhelming… this episode is for you.

In this episode of The Baby Development Podcast, Dr. Olivia sits down with Jessica, a Doctor of Occupational Therapy and infant feeding specialist, to talk about how feeding and development work together — and why feeding your baby is not always as “natural” or automatic as parents are led to believe.

Jessica breaks down why newborn feeding can feel so emotional, why so many parents blame themselves when feeding doesn’t immediately click, and how feeding is truly a skill that both baby and parent are learning together.

We talk about breastfeeding, bottle feeding, latch, newborn reflexes, weight checks, bottle refusal, positioning, nervous system regulation, and the overwhelm so many parents feel when they’re trying to figure out if their baby is getting enough.

In this episode, we cover:

Why breastfeeding can feel so hard in the first few days
What parents are often missing after leaving the hospital
Why weight checks can send parents into a panic
What colostrum is and why early feeds may look different than expected
How babies learn to suck, swallow, breathe, and coordinate feeding
How the rooting reflex can support latch
Why positioning matters for both breast and bottle feeding
What may be happening when a baby refuses a bottle
Why switching bottles is not always the answer
How social media has added to feeding anxiety for new parents

If you’ve ever wondered whether your baby is getting enough, whether you’re doing something wrong, or why feeding feels so much harder than you expected, this conversation will give you clarity, reassurance, and practical tools to better understand your baby.
