Baby frantically rubs her face on my shoulder!

[Maidenet]

When I put willow on my shoulder she has started frantically rubbing her face from side to side! Even if she's been fed she does it! She is 7 weeks old tomorrow xx does anyone else's baby do this? Or no why? Xx

 

[Siuan]

Yep, my LO does it all the time. It usually means she wants more food (even if she has only just been fed)

 

[LuckyYem]

Laeyla does this, its her way of getting comfy to fall asleep

 

[Maidenet]

Hum maybe it is a sleep thing as I have tried her with more milk and she doesn't want it lol xxx little fidget

 

[LuckyYem]

Lol we tried Laeyla with more food at first but I soon realised it was to make herself sleep she is 9 weeks now and been doing it since about the same age as your LO. x

 

[chipsticks]

It means tired and hungry for my LO!

 

[loobylou99]

My LO still does this sometimes when she is tired. If your LO has been fed she is probably wanting to sleep?

 

[gidge]

My LO does this when she is tired. xx

 

[starstarstar]

My LO does the same when she is tired and trying to get to sleep x

 

[lalila0007]

Same here. She does it when she's trying to go to sleep. She is also 7 weeks old.

 

[hubblybubbly]

Mine does when tired x still does it now x

 

[bubbles19]

my LO does it, usually it means she just doesnt want to be held like that she doesnt like it she only lets me hold her like that if she is really really tired x

 

[emsie_123]

My LO does this when her nose is a bit stuffy or itchy.

 

[Maidenet]

Doesnt like it, itchy nose, tired, needs feeding Ill work out which one it it soon!! xx

 

[mrs.amillian]

I gotta agree my LO does it when she's knackered. Everytime, putting her on the shoulder and a few pats on her back and she's gone!

 

[Amanda04]

That was a sure sign that my little guy was very tired. He still does it sometimes when he's really tired.

 

[Flowerpot]

Mine does this to clear her blocked nose haha...I usually end up with snot all over me after shes rubbed like mad...

 

[disney doll]

when my LO is tired he does this

 

[takethree2010]

Mine does it when she wants to suck. Both of my LOs have done it/ do it. Both ended up with dummies. Didn't do it anymore! They could suck away contentedly and not try to eat my shoulder!

Lily does this all the time, she's done it since she was tiny. It's always a good indication that she's tired. And she doesn't like being cuddled to sleep, she likes to be laid down in her cot, so she rubs her face off whoever is holding her as if to say "put me down" haha x
