Rubbing face roughly against shoulder

Jbosarge85

Anytime I put my LO against my chest or shoulder she rubs her face back and forth really roughly. Anybody else deal with this? Any ideas to stop it?

Are you sure she is not routing around for food? When D is hungry or wants to comfort suckle he will rub his face on my shoulder or chest if I am holding him.

It's usually after nursing with a binky in her mouth

mine does, and I finally realized he wants to be put down and usually wants to sleep!

Mine does it when she's tired or gassy

This. That is often a self soothing technique for my LO when he is tired.

Agree!

My DS usually does this when he's hungry and rooting around or when he's sleepy.

Interesting, glad I read this thread! My DS has been fussier at the end of his feeds lately and I couldn't figure out what it was. Hello mama! Duh.

Yep, this is exactly what I thought!
