Issues feeding 11 week old - is this normal??

My 11 week old DS is FF and has always wolfed his feeds down until this week

He has started feeding less but wanting a feed more often in the morning - less often as the day fgoes on. I'm happy to oblige as he he seems to be getting himslef into a night time routine

However - getting milk down him has turned into a bit of a struggle as he has discovered that he can touch/hold the bottle himslef and is almost fighting me for it. I think he's a bit young to be trying to feed himself but that's what it feels like! He doesn't seem to look at me any more while feeding either - preferring to look around the room

Other than this he's very well, very alert and happy. Any ideas???
