My daughter rooted lots and well to begin with, and still does,
specifically when very hungry or in her sleep.  She is 14 months, and
she even roots for solid foods now!  ;-)  I hold out a piece of food, no
matter what, near her mouth, and she shakes her head side to side, and
moves forward until she comes in contact with it, and gobbles it in.  :-)

Very cute to see...

Fio.
