My DD used to do this when a lot younger and in her high chair or pushchair, when she was tired. Sort of rocking on her bum / sliding up and down, and staring in to the middle distance. She has not done it for over a year as far as I am (was) aware... until her nursery mentioned it to me last week. She goes to nursery three days a week. They said she has always done it on and off but they can usually distract her and stop her doing it. But apparently for the last couple of weeks she has been do been doing it a lot more, goes in to a sort of trance and can not be distracted from doing it. they are concerned and think it is odd.
I am sure it is a comfort thing - but, yes, a little odd???
Her DT brothers have been in and out of hospital recently (all ok now) and she has not been sleeping great (because DTs have not been sleeping great, yawn). Things are nearly back to normal now - but I think this upset to the usual run of the mill routine has meant she has been doing this more often - but even so, is it something to be worried about?
Nursery staff have not seen a child do this before and think I should seek advice from GP or HV - but I am not really sure what I want a GP/HV to do??? Is it an indication of a anxious / sad DD that I need to be taking some action about? At a loss of what to do really - if anything!
Any one else's DCs done anything similar?
Sorry for rambling and any typos - hands full!!
