4mo hunger cues

What are the hunger cues for a 4mo now? My baby will make this frustrated "mmmmm" sound when she needs her diaper changed, hungry or tired. So everyday is trial n error. And half the time after heating ebm, she doesn't want the bottle. But neither does she look tired nor soiled her diaper On top of that, she gets v distracted by sights or sounds. Either that, she keeps wanting to sit up during feeding. It's really difficult feeding her now. And when i try to offer her the bottle again, she will cry and kick. Her overall milk intake has therefore decreased Worse, she fights bedtime every night even though she's clearly tired. The only time I don't have to deal w a fussy baby is when she drinks until she KO. Any mummies with similar experiences? Able to share what you did? Any advice would be good to make each passing day an easier one. Most nights i really feel damn defeated and tonight is one of those nights i feel like breaking down

sounds like a growth spurt? my boy was super fussy at that month. He refuses everything and it drove me crazy! It will pass, just give it time.

Thank you, I hope it's just a phase too. 🙏🏻
