My dd is 15 weeks old and has very, etc how do I put it..active? Arms when feeding, she grabs the bottle and will leisurely put it in and pull it out of her mouth (with me still attached obvs), she'll rub her eyes, grab things and generally flap her arms about rather vigorously a whilst happily drinking away.
She also seems to be getting bored of the bottles almost, iv tried changing teats and she near enough choked!

Does anybody else's LO do this? I'm not concerned about it as I no she's just getting older ( sob :() just wondered if it was just her!

Thanks in advance
Xx

Pretty normal behavior :) It can be bloody annoying though!

Tell me about it! She won't be held when fed either, has to be propped up on some pillows. Fussy baby!

Thank you for responding

I don't bottle feed but my ds plays with my other nipple while feeding, pulls off & on, kicks around & generally fidgets. He's 1 but done this from 3-4 months old. It can be annoying when you have other things.you need to do. Perfectly normal I assume as ds1 did it too.
