Fidgety while feeding

My baby is 11 weeks old and has started to get super fidgety while bottle feeding. She moves her head around a lot while feeding- turning it left and right, and will occasionally kick her legs and move her arms around a bunch. She doesn’t seem to be uncomfortable, although there have been times where she’ll randomly cry and then continue feeding. Anyone else experience this all of a sudden? I’m trying to figure out if it’s her just getting distracted, or if it could be discomfort. We burp often and have also changed feeding positions.

OMG my baby does the same! She has always been a very active baby but recently she’ll get more fixated on something while feeding and will move a ton. If you feel it’s something to talk to you pediatrician about I suggest you do it! But I think your baby is just exploring and getting distracted! 😅

@Camila it’s so hard to feed her sometimes because she just won’t sit still 😂

Mine does this when he has gas.

@Heather Anything you’ve given him for gas relief besides the typical bicycles and belly rubs?

Any gas drops with simethicone, this burping technique with your hand under baby's chin and moving their bottom: https://www.facebook.com/share/r/18rQ55gpxW/ And these gas relief tubes: https://a.co/d/f8uw9cz have been a game changer for us.
