Toddler making weird noises when I breast feed new baby

Okay, so my toddler is 3 and my baby is about 6-7 weeks old (I don’t know I’m so tired I can’t even count)

But my daughter isn’t at all interested in her sister, she just ignores her and has not taken any interest in her. But anytime I breastfeed the baby... my toddler begins to make this gagging noise as if she’s disgusted with us and going to vomit.

Anytime I’ve mentioned this to friends or family they just begin to laugh. My husband thinks it’s a way to try and divert my attention and give her attention rather than the baby.

I’m just so confused, and I decided to come on here because not many of my friends have multiple kids or kids at all cause I’m only in mid 20s. So where else to go than somewhere with multiple mammys and daddies

I have no experience with a baby and older child but the parenting thread has loads of advice, mostly to try to include toddler. When baby needs fed, can you ask toddler to get her fave book and snuggle up all 3 of you while you read to her? Also lots of 1 on 1 time with toddler, and enlist toddlers help in caregiving ie bringing you nappies and wipes, maybe get toddler to sing to baby while you change her, stuff like that so toddler doesnt feel like she's excluded.
