Anyone else's LOs turn into she-devils (or he-devils, LOL) when they want their bottle?
Claire is on a 4 hour schedule for her bottles. Sometimes she doesn't make it the full 4 hours, and gets grouchy a half hour earlier. We'll change her before we give her the bottle, but by the time we're done changing her she's FREAKING because she wants the bottle ASAP!
Sometimes it's slight fussing, other times its fullblown screeching... I'd liken it to a cat yowling but at a higher decible/intensity. I don't know if it's the fact that she's accustomed to having a bottle after she gets changed, so she's ticked that we're not moving fast enough, or if it's a sign of something else. It can't be that she's not getting enough to feed, as she's getting nearly 6oz every 4 hours. (She's 6 weeks old now).
So curious if it's just a temper thing or if we could be doing something differently. I hate having her so worked up before a meal, as she doesn't suck efficiently and then takes in more air than when she's feeding at a calmer disposition.
