This occurs when a baby's core temperature spikes (typically, but not exclusively, during the outbreak of an infectious disease). Babies instinctively cool themselves by using the notable flexibility of their legs and feet. They wave their feet in the direction of their face, increasing ventilation and also improving circulation, both of which reduce body temperature. The baby will instinctively cease this action when its temperature returns to 98.6 degrees.
