My baby is four months old, and he keeps constantly hitting himself in the mouth or tapping his hand on me over and over?

I feel like he is teething and not sure if hitting himself over and over in the face is him trying to self service from teething pain. Is anyone else having issues like this? I am a first time mom so when he started doing this, it freaked me out.

My four month old does the same thing, especially when it’s time to go to sleep. I’m not sure what it is but I’m right there with you girl

Sleep regression and beginning of teething! Mine rubs his eyes /mouth uncontrollably and wakes himself up like crazy. Total self soothing that’s interrupting his soothing haha
