 What The Heck Is He Doing???????
Okay, just wondering if anyone else's baby does this. In the evenings when I get home, I notice when Tucker isn't romping and playing, he will occasionally get one of his soft, stuffed toys, latch onto it with his teeth and then kind of massage his paws against it as if he is nursing. You know, kind of like cats when they knead on things or people. Sometimes when he is doing this, he whines a little or makes kind of a hissing noise in the back of his throat. He often falls asleep like this too. He was 10 weeks old when I got him and only started doing this recently around the time he began losing his puppy teeth - so I don't think it was an early weaning issue or anything. My guess is his teeth are hurting and in seeking comfort he reverts to his babyhood at mommy's breast... Anybody else seen this kind of behavior or have any thoughts on this?
Just curious...
