When you feed, does your LO get super fidgety and excited while eating? Jensen fidgets around and sometimes I have to take the bottle out of her mouth so she realizes she needs to move her head where I can reach it. And she wiggles her head and arms the whole time. And will fuss when we take the bottle away to burp her. I can't tell if it's her reflux getting worse, wrong formula (this is the best of 5 so far) if I have a weird child, or this is normal.
I was worried about a milk allergy but read that it's rare with only 2-3% of babies having it.
I will also add that it doesn't matter if she's acting super hungry or eating because I woke her. It's all the same.
DS does this at least once a day. We call it angry feeding, and we'll keep taking the bottle out until he settles down. It's like he's acting as if we never feed him and this is his first feeding in days!

@ALE515 yes that's exactly how it is! I thought it was originally because of her growth spurt but that seems to have passed. She also does this thing with her arms where she almost twitches them towards her stomach when she does all of the above.
Mine will do this on the boob maybe once a day also, usually in the evening. I sit her up and pat her back/burp her until she chills out or offer her a pacifier for a little bit. Babies are crazy.
Like RainStar, usually the head turning is when she needs to burp, even if it's not been long. The crying while burping is usually a reflux thing I thought. Mine does this sometimes but she has reflux.
My LO is usually pretty chill unless she is gassy, in which case she'll arch her back. And same as most PP, she will usually cry when trying to burp her.
