✨ Change is constant as your baby grows ✨
As infants develop, their behaviors shift—and so often these changes are mistaken as something being wrong or something that needs to be “fixed.” Let’s clear that up with some truth.
👶🏽 As your baby gets older, distraction is NORMAL.
Especially during feeds.
Your baby is no longer content lying still. They’re looking around, making eye contact, reacting to sounds, and interacting with you. Noises that once went unnoticed are now fascinating.
This doesn’t mean feeding is a problem.
It means your baby’s brain is growing. 🧠✨
Because of this, your baby may:
• Pause during feeding
• Look around and observe
• Pull off and return again
Sometimes it can look like they’re done—but they’re not.
💡 Leave space for your baby to come back to the breast or bottle.
Those pauses are part of learning, not a sign to rush or end the feed.
Your baby still needs that nourishment—and connection.
Trust the process. You’re both doing great. 🤍
