14wk old very wriggly during feeds

dd is getting very wriggly during feeds, she wants the milk( I know ecause she is still sucking when she is wriggling and cries if I take it away), does not have wind (she does not suck when she has wind) and I wonder if she is just getting bored with feeds taking so long (up to 40 minutes, I thought this was normal but maybe she doesn't!) she is a very alert and curious baby and I get the feeling she would prefer to be playing than feeding.

She has level 2 dr brown teats and a 6oz bottle takes anything from 20 minutes to 40 minutes to down, should I try the faster teats or even a sippy cup? Is this normal behaviour? If anyone else has experineced it, what did they do?

Sorry been away a while, yes it did get better when ds got older. You do learn that everything is 'just a phase' (sigh)

My 14wk old boy has been wriggly like that for a couple of weeks now (i'm bfing). Generally the only place he'll feed properly is in bed or when he's really really tired and hungry. I want him to eat enough but don't want to spend my day in bed (nice as that would be some days!!)
