I’m not sure if there is a connection because the last time I breastfed 13 years ago I didn’t have a phone that I could sit and scroll on but my other older babies that were breastfed never got fussy if I was reading a book or even listening to music on my iPod (no WiFi). Also, I considered that maybe it was because he saw my phone but even when he can’t see it he still gets fussy and doesn’t stop until it’s off and far away from him. Again I have no proof that it’s affecting him but it just seems very curious what I’m seeing. And after talking with another mom I know, she’s experiencing something similar with her daughter.
