Baby rubbing her eyes til she wakes herself up at night

My 6 month old keeps rubbing her eyes in the middle of the night until she wakes herself up. This is sometimes followed by loud farts and/or swinging legs around in the air. She's been doing it off and on since birth but it seems to be getting worse! Has anyone else experienced this? Is it linked to her/my diet? I started weaning a few weeks ago but I am still b/f.

Could be wind causing her to wake but as she is still sleepy she is automatically rubbing her eyes? Try giving her infacol with feeds and making sure she is well winded. My LO is very farty and she rubs her eyes when she is sleepy so it is the only thing i can think of.
