The act of lying on one's back with legs crossed in the air, holding one's breath repeatedly as long as possible, often while holding a pillow, blanket or stuffed animal (also known as a stuffy") very close to or over one's face. Flutching is most often done by children usually as a form of self-soothing.
Q: "What is that kid doing over there...some sort of weird contortionist act?"
A: "No, she's just flutching."
