    I think its part of their rooting reflex. Do you bf? My 3.5 mo old does it. He tried on his dad the other night then looked up at him like my bad. It's cute!

    My daughter does it out of frustration. If she's too tired, really hungry or is teething and hurts

    My daughter does it when she is extremely tired and fighting sleep, she'll do it until she wakes herself up enough she won't fall asleep.

    Oh yea @britt21 & @YNVTish I think he does it out of frustration too. i just didn't know if that was normal i was going to talk to his pediatrician about it but i guess that's just his way of telling me he's sleepy or hungry.

    My 2 year old does this and has since birth. I think its a comfort, just like some kids swaddling makes them feel comfort as if back in the womb. I've also always been the same, I can't sleep unless something is,up against my cheek...weird I know but a blanket or even pillow has to be up on my cheek. I've tried to stop him but even with nothing in the crib, he still pushed up against the baby bumper...
