Lately he’s been vigorously rubbing his face with his fists while falling asleep, and when he does this his pacifier comes out and he immediately starts crying for it. I just fed him and put him down and he started doing it every 2 mins. I had to sit next to him for the past 30 mins just to keep putting it back in. I noticed this isn’t the first time this happened either; but this is the first time he’s done it for this long.

Has anyone else had this issue?

I’m thinking his face may be itchy, or it’s just a natural reflex that babies have when they’re tired and falling asleep. He’s only 1 month so he can’t put the pacifier back in on his own yet. I have a couple wubbanub pacifiers that I was gonna introduce to him once he could start grasping things on his own, but any solutions for right now?
