Squirming during feeding

2 replies

Hi all,
My 10 week old is bottle fed and has suddenly started being very squirmy during feeding. He will sit still for a bit of the feed but then becomes very fidgety - throwing his arms about, kicking his legs, opening and closing his mouth but he is still drinking during this.
Just wondered if anyone else has experienced this?
Thanks!

Not had that no but my DF did and she ended up swaddling for bottle feeds.

My 4 week old often thrashes about towards the end of a feed. No idea if it's because the milk is slowing down, too fast (often lots of milk in her mouth at that point from what I can tell) or it's her reaction to the hind milk. Because I use shields it can be a right pain because she often pulls them off the nipple. I went to a bf clinic and they didn't really have anything to say about it!
