Formula fed baby suddenly interested in boobs?
Is it normal for my formula fed baby to suddenly be interested in my boobs? For reference she is 17 weeks old.
I tried breastfeeding in the first few days of her being born but unfortunately my milk didn't come in so she's been on formula since day one. But over the last day or two she keeps grabbing them and rubbing again them. She even tried putting it in her mouth 😅 FTM so not sure if this is normal 🫣

@Olivia she's been doing it after a bottle so wouldn't say she was hungry necessarily, its just really odd 😅

I think it’s probably instinct, bottle fed or breastfed they still do the rooting thing when they’re hungry
Boob is also for comfort as well as food so could be looking for comfort? No harm in letting her suckle if she wanted to, if you feel comfortable with it and might enjoy it. It’s also possible to relactate though it can take a lot of effort and perseverance.
