Distracted while feeding

Anyone else’s baby is either not interested in feeding or super distracted by surroundings? I struggle to keep baby on the breast for a minute or on the bottle for 5 minutes. Is it just a funky development thing? Baby is combo fed and first teeth has just edged through the gums.

My baby is the exact same. She rarely finishes her feeds and is super distracted when feeding! I have to really concentrate when feeding her as she will just play with the teat! I hope it doesn’t stick around for long

@Rabia I hope it’s a short phase!

Mine too hun! hes barely finishing bottles now. I put it down to him preferring the solids to not interested in bottles anymore but glad to see my babys not the only one hahah😅

Yep mine too so distracted. I have to do the bottle in instalments now cos he just never focuses long enough to keep it in his mouth so sometimes it takes agesss

My little girl is the exact same at the minute! She’s so hungry and ready for the bottle but after she’s had a bit for a few minutes she’s not interested just wants to chew on it or push it out completely 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Chloe it’s like once they’ve filled the little spot they forget they were ever hungry 😂

@Jasmyn literally 😂 I’m like girl you need more that 60 ml isn’t gonna feel like anything in 10 minutes

@Chloe right 😂 looking at him like you’re gonna regret this very soon

Awww , what I do when she’s distracted; I remove my breast and let her do wat she wants and when she’s hungry or wants the breast again I give and she will drink drink drink . Hope that helps 🤗 🥰

@Mariam I do a combo of playing a song he likes, or just waiting and trying again later now. ☺️

Mine too nursing. I really have to be in a private area now with her, or she gets too distracted to breast feed!
