I'm always nervous she has a bug bite or something, but it's always just her own little weirdo soothing technique :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-babe-have-a-weird-self-soothing-technique#post-885075 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 07:54:12 +0000 chrispygal 885075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, she will slap her head and push the hair in her eyes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-babe-have-a-weird-self-soothing-technique#post-885074 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 07:53:44 +0000 photojane 885074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: ouch! O has so much pretty hair. Sadie couldn't pull her hair if she tried. :happy: </p> <p>@MamaMoose: I'm glad she's not the only mattress scratcher.

When she's first putting herself to sleep she will alternate between rubbing her blankie on her face &amp; scratching the mattress. Then, through-out the night whenever she wakes up, she will scratch her mattress until she falls back asleep. Sometimes I'll wake up in the middle of the night and hear little "scratch,scratch,scratch" on the monitor. It always makes me laugh. </p> <p>What does your little one do to self-soothe? </p>
