A. It is not uncommon for infants to show differences in feeding behavior based on their state of alertness. This could be due to various factors such as distractions, discomfort, or a preference for certain feeding positions. It is important to observe your baby's cues and attempt to offer the bottle during a calm and quiet moment to see if this improves feeding. Additionally, consulting with a pediatrician or lactation consultant can provide further insight and strategies to address this issue. Ensuring a comfortable and nurturing feeding environment isd essential for promoting healthy feeding habits in infants.d

A. Teething would be one reason behind it and the second could probably be distraction from the surroundings shift to understand the simple thing that kids gained their vision after the age of three months and so excited about the surrounding because that is the time when they can see things clearly because of that excitement of surroundings and you know because of that kids do not take feeding sometimes so either of the two could be the reason behind it
