Feeding time has become difficult! Help!

in Babies: 6 - 9 Months
DD has decided that she doesn't really want to eat during the day.  She has finally stopped growing a mile a minute and has stayed in her clothes more than a week, thank goodness.  However, if she doesn't eat enough during the day, she wants to eat more at night.  To feed her, I need to go in a quiet, dimly lit room.  Otherwise, she wants to play instead of eat.  Even then, she tries to flip over and formula flies everywhere.  She wants to grab and explore the bottle.  She grabs my face.  She eats her shirt...etc. etc.  Is anyone else experiencing this?  What do you do?

    this...maybe it's not coming out fast enough for her so she gets bored.

    is she eating solids?

    Yes, she does a solid (puree) in the morning, puffs throughout the day, and a puree in the evening.  We are using a level 3 dr. Brown's nipple, so I don't think it's the nipple.
