Probably a very stupid question....

Nurse Lisa · January 2012

So this probably means nothing, but lately when E gets her bottle she does a lot of flinging her arms around and hitting the bottle with her hand/hands. My guess is that she's just kind of "playing" as she's eating? At first I thought since she seemed so squirmy maybe she wasn't hungry, but when I take the bottle away she loses it. I'm sure I'm way over-analyzing....just thought I'd bring it up.

My LO does this when he's eating, except that he's hitting ME, since he's nursing. Yes, I think it's just playing.

Yup, me too. N is a crazy person while nursing sometimes. All.over.the.place.

B hits me in the cheek, but I started to puff out my cheek so that every time he hits it, it make a farty noise. Now it's a game. He just does it non stop. He started wanting to sit straight up a few days ago about half way through his bottle. I feel like he's eating less. I have to feed him like a little billy goat! After a few minutes, he'll finish the bottle, but he won't lay back down.

grr. I feel ya. I side lay a lot and F rolls back and fourth from boob to no boob. Today I was on my phoen and looked down and he was literally perpendicular to me, feet level with my head cest but still nursing! She had kicked and rolled her feet that far away.

OP. I thnk it is excitement. My DD flails when I put her in her seat and bring the solids over.

N does this too when we side lie! He's also started climbing all over me even when I'm sitting. Tonight he started out in a cradle hold, rolled onto his belly so we formed a cross, then ended up kneeling on my left, leaning across me and nursing on the right. It's too funny.

Add me to the list of mommy's with breastfeeding gymnastics! They are so funny. OP I also think it's a reaction to being overly happy (A also does it when she's grumpy).

I agree with all of the above posters. What I had to do was cradle him and hold one of his arms down with my free hand and then try to pin the other between his body and mine lol.

Liv too! Also when I'm just holding her, both arms flail and usually the left fist hits my left eye. Used.and.abused.

Ha, ha! This is us too. Don't even get me started on diaper changes/clothing changes!

C does the same thing whether she is eating her one bottle of BM a day or nursing. She slaps my boobs and tweaks my other nipple while she is nursing. Super annoying.

nerdmommy · January 2012

Haha! We have the same behavior here. I think, ironically, that it increases as he gets sleepier. So he's really wild: kicking, pulling on my boob, pinching me (more incentive for me to cut his claws more often), scratching his head, etc. and then passes out asleep.
