first of all congratulations on the birth of your daughter. Her weight gain is more than adequate. the birth weight doubles by 5 months and it is already doubled for her. Usually children require 2-3 overnight feeds. make sure you give at least 2 times. this should help with the crying. and may be she is trying to play with the bottle while feeding.

Weight gain is reassuring. Getting distracted easily is normal developmental pattern at 3 months they start getting aware of surroundings try to explore look at people. Try feeding in a quiet place without distractions. Sleeping pattern is also normal. Give lukewarm water bath and switch off lights without any noise if needed you can use white noise while sleeping.

Your baby’s weight gain is reassuring. She has doubled her birth weight from 2.6 kg to 5.2 kg in 3 months, which is a good sign. Around 3–4 months, babies become more aware of their surroundings, so they get distracted easily during feeding. Changes in sleeping patterns are also common at this age. Try feeding her in a quiet room with fewer distractions. Offer smaller, frequent feeds and avoid force-feeding. Also, check whether the bottle nipple flow is appropriate.

Greetings The baby's sudden distraction during feeds and sleep difficulties are consistent with a normal 3-month developmental leap where increased environmental awareness makes them easily distracted, though it is important to feed in a quiet room, track wet diapers.

Dear mother, first of all you are doing a great job as an exclusive pumping mom. Your baby's weight gain is excellent - birth weight 2.6 kg to 5.2 kg at 3 months means she has doubled her birth weight, which is exactly expected at this age. So growth is on track. At 3 months, what you are describing - taking very less milk, getting distracted very easily, and hard time sleeping - is very common and mostly developmental: 1. 3-Month Distracted Feeding: At this age babies become very aware of surroundings. They look around, get distracted, pull away from bottle/breast. Feeding amount may appear less in daytime but they compensate at night. 2. 3-Month Sleep Regression: Sleep pattern changes around 3-4 months. Day-night confusion reduces and babies start having more frequent night waking. 3. If baby is active, playful, passing urine 6-7 times, gaining weight, and achieving milestones like social smile, cooing, head control, then this is likely a normal phase and not due to any illness. Other causes to rule out are nasal block, mouth thrush, ear pain, teething discomfort, or change in milk flow from bottle nipple.

It is very normal. As baby is very much interested in surrounding sounds, lights etc so gets distracted easily. You can try to feed in quite room with dim light with minimal distraction possible.

Its normal.

Normal

That's normal only may be infant colic So give Colic aid drops 0.3ml whenever baby is cranky

hello, Sorry to hear that you have a difficult time with feeding. Your baby is adequately gaining weight. That means you have enough breast milk. Now baby needs not only breast milk but a direct sucking also. I understand there is a latching issue and as a growing baby, it might be refusing the bottle. So you need the help of a pediatrician(who can spend some time with you and baby) or better a lactation counsellor to exactly find out what is the issue and help you. Don't worry. Hope your problem will be solved soon.

Growth from 2.6 kg to 5.2 kg by 3 months is good progress, so this isn't a growth concern. Around this age babies become much more aware of their surroundings. Getting distracted during feeds and taking in less milk at a time is a very common phase, and it often comes with fussier sleep too.
