Baby's Legs Wake Him Up
I tried swaddling but he hates it and is v strong - gets out of the swaddle easily.
Baby's legs wake him up. We have tried swaddling one arm at a time to ease him into not be swaddled at all. I have swaddled him once he is asleep and he has done 2 2 hour sleeps but i had to keep his legs from kicking as this still wakes him - so its hit and miss with this. A few things you can do to help your little guy stay asleep once you put him down are warming the bassinet with a hot water bottle check to make sure it isnt too hot before laying him down wear the bassinet sheet for a few hours so that it smells like you let him have lots of floor time during the day tummy time is definitely important but getting him comfortable on his back.
This means that your baby will need to nap at least twice during the day. Big Brother Naija star Cross was treated to a beautiful Christmas surprise by his fans but the gesture has got people asking questions. I lay him down flat on my lap if he is still squirmy unsettled I know he still has wind and will try breaking his wind and rhen laying him flat agsin.
Hope this is helpful to you honey. Im feeling desperate at a loss with his sleeping habits. They are in sleep gowns now and although they are size 0-9 I feel like they need to be a bit longer.
Ive always attributed this to him being in a state between sleep and wakefulness. There is a sleep disorder called Periodic Limb Movement Disorder PLMD which involves leg movements during sleep and can wake a child. He brings them up and then down I dont know if its gas.
Gas will eventually come out one end or the other. MarcAnthony Dukes filmed his son Mateos face as he woke him up. Crazy but it worked.
If your baby naps too long it may disrupt nighttime sleep making him cranky and restless. Some babies may nap for only 20 minutes at a time while others will nap for an hour or more. I just spent 45min settling him and just when I thought he was asleep.
