The Bush Dragonfly:

Aboriginal babies that are born in the dry season share this time of the birth with the dragonfly, which hums and buzzes in the air, celebrating the birth of the new season.

Aboriginal grandmothers use the dragonflies to test babies' hearing. They catch the dragonfly making them buzz near the babies' ears.

When the baby responds, we know that they have good hearing. If not, the elders of the tribe bring the dragonfly closer so the baby can feel the vibration and sound of its wings, then they sing to the spirits and the dragonfly to help the newborn to grow and be able to communicate.

So, if you see a dragonfly buzzing around a baby, it is just looking and checking the baby's response because that's what they do. In the past, everyone worked together - dragonflies, grandmothers and the spirits.
