Squirmy eater

My baby is 10 weeks old (11 on Monday) exclusively breastfeeding and she is such a squirmy eater. She just wiggles so much which often causes her to unlatch. It doesn’t always seem fussy and when it does I’ll give her a little burp and she’ll stop fussing but is still very much wiggling around. Anyone else dealing with this? Is it normal? Any tips on how to get her to sit still while eating?

You can try having something for her feet to press against. Both of my kiddos wiggled a ton, but that helped a little. My 7 week old is so squirmy too

I will absolutely give that a try! Thank you :)

My LO wiggled a lot and did the same thing. I got myself a Brest Friend Nursing Pillow and it helped so much. It's slightly tilted and attaches to you so when they get bigger and still wiggle they can't go anywhere. It also has a pocket for a water bottle or snacks!
