I remember my dd doing this and I was frantic about it. She grew out of it within a few months. I suspect it just feels nice.

Mine liked to shake her head while eating at that age. Early weaning was a big old mess.

It's a phase, probably feels good and builds up those newfound neck muscles

My son did this. I looked it up, and came to the conclusion they just enjoy the feeling of it.

He's nine months old now and doesn't do it anymore, before sleep or just for fun.
