LO squirming whist feeding

[Connah'sMommy]

Just recently(past 3 days) when i have given connah his feed he has been squirming and wriggling about alot,he will take the bottle the first time i put it to his lips and be fine for about 5 mins then we will wind him half way through but then he will wriggle and start whinging...

He wants his bottle and eventually will take it but its a struggle...once its in his mouth hes fine.

I havnt done anything different except change his teats to stage 2(AVENT)
as he was ready for them.

Checked for wind and its not that either(he has usually done a huge burp already before he starts wriggling)

Ay ideas why he could be doing this?

Im thinking maybe the teats are too slow fo him?

Sorry but we have the same problem and I think it's just what they do and there isn't a lot we can do about it! We ended up putting Ruby on fast flow teats (which are meant for 6 months plus) and so she gets the milk quicker, so has had more to eat before she starts fussing and squirming. She deals with them fine and is less windy but Ruby has always HATED a slow flow of milk.
However if you've just changed teats I wouldn't change them again yet. When Ruby starts squirming and she's been burped, we just wait a while then offer her the rest of the bottle.
I think the thing is, when they were really little, all they needed to be content was a bottle, now they are more interested in looking around, moving around, etc!

We are the same and I am convinced its because the teat is too slow. Toby has always needed faster teats too. He went onto TT 3m+ teats at 6 weeks and at 12 weeks he was on Dr Brown's size 3, 6m+ teats. I think the Dr Brown's teats are now getting too slow for him, we had a particularly annoying squirming session yesterday so I thought bugger it, and transferred his milk into my "spare" TT bottle with a size 3 (6m+) teat that I always keep spare in the car / change bag with a carton of milk, and he gulped it down. I don't get it with mine tho, sometimes the teat will be too slow, but other times he'll down 7ozs with no problems at all!
