Breastfeeding and Smacking Head

In the last week by 9 month year old has started to suck a lot harder when breastfeeding and also smacking her own head with her hand at the same time. Has anyone else experienced this? Should I be worried or just normal development behaviour?

My daughter used to do this too when she was tired, she now scratches her head and pulls her hair, it’s apparently self soothing behaviours xx

Yes, my 7 month old does this!

Yup, my 9month old does this as well. I noticed she does this particularly when she's teething.
