Can the sensitivity be changed to record steps. Currently making the babies milk bottles is recording steps as well as rocking her to sleep. 

Can it be made less sensitive to movement?

There's not a lot we can do but there are a couple of tweaks that can affect sensitivity. Fitbit say:

 

"For wrist-based trackers, it's important to specify whether you wear the tracker on your dominant or non-dominant wrist:

  • The dominant wrist setting decreases the sensitivity of step counting and should reduce any over counting of steps when your body is not moving.
  • The non-dominant wrist setting increases the sensitivity of step counting and should reduce any under counting of steps. Non-dominant is the default."

So, if you set it to dominant but wear it on your non-dominant wrist it should reduce the steps tracked.
