Lower jaw quivering while nursing

wendiandnate

Does anyone else see this in you LO while they nurse? I usually see it when he pauses for a few seconds and then starts sucking again. Not really concerned about it, just curious.

Yup, my DS does this when he nurses. I think it's just part of the sucking reflux.

Mine does too! Reminds me of a little guinne pig trying to drink from one of those water droppers that hang in their cages - weird thought, I know!

Im pretty sure its just where their little jaw muscle gets tired

Yes, mine does it all the time.  

Reminds me of my cat sitting by the front window looking at birds eating from the  bird feeder.  Her jaw would do the same thing.

Mine did this all the time as a nb.... Now it's only when he's very tired and falling asleep.   it's so cute- I'm missing that sweet little quivery flutter.

DS did this...it was when he was licking my nipple.  His little tongue went so fast it looked like his jaw was quivering.
