What does it mean when my baby turns her head from side to side really quickly every time she rouses from her sleep? She's been doing this since birth and no, it's not because she's hungry and looking to latch. Could it be that her neck is itchy or she's feeling warm and trying to cool down?
I think this is quite common among babies.
They tend to find ways to make themselves comfortable so that they can rest better.
As their motor skills aren't fully ready to be used, they will find ways and means to comfort themaelves.
