    I am pretty sure DD did it too, neither of mine were wrapped, I just put it down to their brain switching off and succumbing to sleep or if while sleeping moving through a sleep cycle. I have years of experience of watching my Dad fall to sleep in front of TV and doing it my self and have noticed that often to jerky movements like the head thrashing when you are drifting off but don't really want to/haven't given in to it yet.

    Ds2 did this - it was his way of settling himself. He grew out of it eventually. I asked paed about it and was of no concern

    My DD has done this when she was really little. Not sure why, but yeah - side to side over and over and over again.

    Thanks MamaPan!

    My oldest never did this, so when Miss Z started I was like *what the heck*

    She really does go at it so frantically! Good to know a paed says it is nothing to worry about

    Thanks girls

    I might give her wee lil ears a clean tomorrow to rule out a wax build up - thanks LuluHB

    Kaytee - I don't wrap my lil bubs, haven't since she was about 5 weeks old! darn tyke could get out of EVERYTHING! so, seeing as she fell asleep unwrapped, I just left it that way...but you could be right! Might just be her getting comfy...

    wy - she does seem to just fall asleep or stay asleep after she does it. So yeah, maybe it is her fighting it!

    Thanks girls, appreciate yr answers xx
