Baby scratching head

Hey everyone, My baby is exclusively breastfed and feeds to sleep. I’ve noticed in the last couple of days, when she’s feeding and starts getting sleepy, she’ll start scratching her head. Anyone else experienced anything similar?

Yes my LO plays with hair while taking his bottle. I believe it’s a self soothing technique

Yep, my boy has done this for a while both when sleepy and feeding. Like above, I was told it’s a comfort/self soothing technique x

My LG does it too, she has a little bit of cradle cap and it's like she's clawing at her head when she does it 🤦🏼‍♀️ x

Thanks everyone!
