She is happy and nothing seems to be wrong with her. I talked her mom and she said she thinks that she might be growing. But she is happy and she is having wet dippers like normal. She burps every now and then. I just wanted to know if it was okay for her to do that.
Suggestion:
Yes, at about 5 months my daughter got smart about it! She started squirming the ENTIRE time she was drinking a bottle so she wouldn't fall asleep. She's 6 months now and if she's tired, but doesn't want to sleep, she will just keep arching her back the entire time she's eating. It's really kind of funny:)
I don't see any harm in her falling asleep. Let her finish her bottle when she gets up, or make her a new one if it's been too long.

yes
Growth spurts will cause a baby to be more tired than normal. If she is not reacting differently than normal. I wouldn't be concerned. Just keep an eye on her.
It's normal. Both of my boys at that age acted like milk was alcohol or something. They would often pass out in the middle of taking a bottle. lol
Breastfeeding relaxes the babe and many people think that falling asleep at the breast is caused by this relaxation.
I just finished an article about this on my blog. Maybe it will help you keep your little girl awake while feeding!
