Very Weird Question

MarSamWhitneyMarSamWhitney member
in January 2011 Moms

For the past 2-3 nights when I put Whitney down to bed, she will wake up about 2 hours later, crying hyserically.  For the first two nights, H got her, and would rock her and then put her back to bed. He would lay her on his chest, and he described to me that she was doing something similiar to "humping".  I didnt think anything of it.

Last night I got up with her, and brought her into bed with me to give her a bottle and comfort her.  She was laying on her back, and just from the glow of the tv, I could see her even doing that humping motion on her back.  She was EXTREMLY tired.  Yawning, etc, so I don't think she even knew what she was doing. 

Any idea's? It was like jerky motions, very weird.

    DS has never done this, but he does lots of weird stuff (especially with his body) when he is tired.  I'm sure that's probably all it is.

    First- your siggy pic is adorable.

    Second- you are probably right. I guess I was wondering if anyone elses LO's were doing it.  When I google it, its a lot of garbage about kids mimicking seeing adults doing it. Yeah right!!!!! Not in my house!  It must just be a reaction to being tired. Maybe she is trying to get comfortable, or fighting sleep- and thats what she does.

    Definitley weird.  I'm not writing it in the baby book. lol

    My little girl does something like that as well but its not in bed just when she gets really tired she'll lay on the floor on her tummy and rocks back and forth. I dont think its anything to worry about.

    My LO does that when I nurse him to sleep. He's just super tired. I'm sure it's the same for Whitney.

    My LO does not do that but when he gets excited he gets on his knees and bounces up and down 'yelling'.  It looks kind of obscene the way he does it.

    LMAO! I try not to leave anything out of the kids journals, but some things just need to be forgotten haha.

    To the original subject, Emily does the jerky humping thing all the time. I never thought of it as humping, because she usually is using her feet to rock back and forth. I think it sounds the same though. Aiden never did it, but I'm sure there were plenty of other weird things he did do with his body.

    I guess humping might not be the right word, but it looks like a bit of a pelvic thrust. 

    Glad to see my LO isnt the only one.  It could very well be a reaction to being exhausted.

    Yes, JT does this. He does it when he's really excited. My DH even made a joke about it --- "Haha JT, that's what Daddy did last night!" was his words. Gross.

    Sounds like an overtired effort at self soothing.  Shiloh air humps when she is cruising.  We call it her "boodie dance" and cheer her on "go Shiloh, go Shiloh" and she gets really excited.  She is actually trying to rock out though, bless her heart.

    With the screaming and jerky movement it sounds like gas to me. Try giving her a dose of simethicone off the bat and see if it helps imo.

    When Jay is really tired he will crawl around and if he runs into something soft he will put his face in it and hump the floor for a few seconds. Never really thought anything of it. Just something he does when tired.

    This made me laugh for some reason. I think if should go under milestones or firsts in the baby book.

    The first time H saw Jay do it was at MIL's. She looked at H and said "Get your mind out of the gutter". I am sure older kids may mimick their parents but I doubt any 12 month old is.
