Do any of your babies turn the head left right very quickly before sleep? What are the causes? My little girl did this quite often today and also refused to drink milk. Is it because of teething?

Seems to be fighting sleep. Either she is not tired, over tired or experiencing separation anxiety. The above reasons make her not want to sleep. http://www.babysleepsite.com/sleep-training/why-do-babies-fight-sleep/

Mine does that as well. It's actually one of the techniques for self-soothing themselves to sleep. http://www.madeformums.com/baby/self-soothing--why-your-baby-needs-this-skill-to-sleep-well/13700.html

Could it be tummy discomfort, colic? Sometimes they have wind in tummy and hard to fell asleep and take in additional milk due to the pain. Try to do some baby massage and feed colic drops to relieve.

thanks
