door opens, she unlatches and turns to look. fan changes speed, same. my partner now tiptoes past the bedroom like it's an exam hall. phase, or do we feed her in a cupboard from now on
Our younger one went through exactly this. What helped during the day was feeding her in the bedroom with the curtains half drawn and the fan left on one speed, no changes. Nights were never a problem, the dark did the work. It faded after a few weeks, though I couldn't tell you when.
The fan on one speed is a good detail. With my younger one the distraction was her big sister giving a running commentary from the doorway. We ended up giving the older one a job during feeds, reading aloud to both of them, and that worked better than shooing her out.

Still happening here at 8 months, except now he also reaches for whatever the person walking in is holding. A dark room is still the only setup that works for the last feed before bed.
Keep going
