whenever I give Megan a breastfeed she opens and closes her hand really fast like she is squeezing something.

This is to do with the sucking reflex. I know a nurse somewhere told me about it before but memory fails me.

The girls do it when they're going to sleep as well as we use dummies.

the opposite is also true... one way to get a baby to suck is to gently rub the palm of their hand .... cause as tishy said it is all about the sucking reflex.

Oh! That makes sense! I've found when JJ is mucking about and bouncing his head around instead of properly latching, if I grab his hand and give him my finger to grasp he latches properly and starts sucking away. I thought it was just my imagination! Thanks Bizzy
