My babies would do this as well. I can still visualize it and remember how
it felt (my youngest just turned 7 years :))

Sorry I only have personal experience to share--my daughter used to do this
behavior and I just figured she was somehow wanting another let-down. The
movement was confined to her lips and jaw, like a fluttery, quivery
behavior.
It was definetly not a seizure or other distress behavior, no other muscles
were involved. I'd just pull her bottom in closer and make sure her chin was
touching the breast. She'd usually draw in for a few more deep sucks before
falling asleep. Just another version of normal I guess?
