I have a 3 week old baby that’s extremely fussy. I know babies can be like this but my LO throws a tantrum as soon as I put her down in her cot to the point she turns bright red and cries hysterically. She will kick her legs violently and push the bottle away when feeding even though when we try to keep the bottle inside her mouth she then chugs it down despite trying to push it away (we wind her every 3-4mins during feeds)
She is a pretty hysterical baby and I wonder if anyone else’s baby is like that aswell?

Have you tried changing the teat flow? My baby struggled with the size 1 teat that came with her bottles, switching to a slower flow really helped her feeds!
I never found a solution for wanting to be held 24/7, I think a lot of babies just need that extra cuddle time!
Thank you, we will try changing the teats!

Does she arch her back while drinking?
Sometimes but not all the time
