To think bearing a grudge over nothing is abnormal?

BIL came over for Christmas dinner, which DH (a chef) had spent literal weeks prepping when not at work. I made conversation with BIL while DH cooked. BIL complained about the food and told DH he'd have been happy with frozen pizza. Following the inevitable fall-out between DH and BIL (I took DD- then 6mo- to the bedroom so I wasn't stressed and she wasn't listening to it), we all went for a meal a month or so later- BIL's suggestion- I thought as a making-up/apology thing.
Yesterday, BIL told DH that he was still angry re Christmas and that it was really awkward having to talk to me while I was breastfeeding. I'd put Christmas far behind me/almost forgotten at this point.
AIBU to feel like BIL is just seeking an argument over nothing? Any idea why he'd say all this now?

BIL sounds like a twat. Twats act like twats.

I’d not bother with him any more. You DH can make his own decisions. And that’s speaking as someone who didn’t speak to her own brother for two blissful years.
