Baby scratching/scrunching own face

My 2 month old has been scrunching at her face for the past 2-3 days. She squished her hand across her nose and cheeks. Does this mean anything? TIA

Does this mean anything?

In all probability yes. It is most likely to mean that she's learnt how to do it Smile

I think it's pretty normal, better make her wear gloves so she can't hurt her skin with scratches. It's normal for infants.

She's discovered that she has hands, and that she can make them do things! Keep her nails trimmed so she doesn't hurt herself, pop mitts on her at bedtime and enjoy the cuteness, it will get even better when she realises she has feet!
