does it after feeds, before going to sleep etc, in bouncer chair etc. not found fingers/thumb yet (or only accidentally). has been doing it for a few weeks now, am worried about breastmilk supply and want to know if it's always a sign of hunger.

He has found a new toy or could be teething.

Just means they can!

Seriously, they just do. Its fun, its a new skill to try out, its comforting. Thats all.

Don't listen to anyone who tells you it means he is hungry and needs baby rice and rusks. And if he is hungry.....more milk will sort him out
