Because Feeding Shouldn’t Be This Stressful (and you shouldn’t have to figure it out alone!)
EXPERT-BACKED, FAMILY-FIRST ADVICE
We know every baby is different. That’s why we give you tools and troubleshooting tips you can tailor to your family — not just a one-size-fits-all approach.
NON-JUDGMENTAL + FLEXIBLE
Because bottle refusal rarely happens at a “convenient” time. Whether you’re preparing to return to work or already in the thick of it, you’ll have this guide at your fingertips.
INSTANT ACCESS WHEN YOU NEED IT MOST
After navigating bottle refusal professionally (and personally), I wanted parents to have the step-by-step support they need to get through this stressful time. I created Eat Play Say because I want to give parents accessible educational resources with real answers.
All of our resources are mobile-friendly, never expire, and cut through the chaos so you can parent with clarity instead of confusion.

"This was soooo helpful in getting my baby to take a bottle after weeks of refusing!"
It’s SO robust. It’s also inclusive enough that I can use it for my child now (#1), and save to use for #2+ as I’m sure the feeding experience differs for every child.
"Such a helpful and succinct resource!"
