Hungry: Your baby may not be hungry but may be uncomfortable because she needs to be burped more frequently

Read babies signals: Babies will turn their head and root because they enjoy the sensation of sucking.Their lips have millions of sensors that give pleasure when they suck.That's how a baby that has never been hungry learns to begin feeding.It appears she remains alert after feeds and wants more "pleasure" which you misread as wanting more feed. Try other comfort plan.
