#asktheexpert my 3 month old baby is distracted during feeding.She wants to drink milk but at the same time want to observe everything .if cover placed over her ....she removes it. what to do??

A. This is completely normal behavior for a 3-month-old baby. Around this age, babies become more alert and curious, and they start noticing their surroundings more. That curiosity can cause them to get distracted during feeding, especially if there are noises, lights, or people nearby. Here are a few gentle tips to help: Choose a quiet, dim room for feeding to reduce distractions. Try white noise or gentle music in the background—it can help soothe and maintain focus. Make eye contact and talk softly to your baby while feeding to keep her engaged with you. Don’t force covering her if she dislikes it—it can make her more upset or distracted. This phase usually passes in a few weeks as babies adjust. Just be patient and follow your baby’s cues—she’ll feed when she’s truly hungry.
