Startling when dropping off to sleep

Hi, has anyone else had this when your child startles themself suddenly as they are dropping off to sleep? My LO has just started doing this - in the car if she drops off and as I am feeding her before bed she doesn't seem unhappy and doesnt cry, then eventually goes to sleep properly. Its been happening for about a week and I don't know why shes doing it! Has anyone else had this? Many thanks

Yes I do it too sometimes :) just jolt awake then fast asleep again - i wondered if its because she sleeps on her front in bed and I have never noticed her doing it in bed - I wonder if she does it in the car etc as she doesn't feel comfy not being on her front? Who knows!
