Good morning all you fabulous mummies out there, hope you are enjoying the snow?

I was hoping you have some tips for bottle feeding? My gorgeous 12 week old princess is FF & express milk fed (all by bottle), she is a little fuss pot when it comes to taking it, she grabs the bottle and pulls it out her mouth (I know she doesn't realise what she's doing) & generally fails her arms and legs about, she's happy with it, almost like it's play time so it 1. takes ages to feed her & 2. goes mainly down her & me!

Have tried swaddling her but she gets angry and frustrated, any tips on how to get re to chill with her bottle?

My 9 week old of BF, but he can get pretty boisterous at times during a feed, particularly at the start and end of a feed.

I have found rhythmical tapping of his bottom seems to calm him down and focus him on feeding. It can also help to soothe him to sleep at times.
Maybe worth a try??
