Restless Sleep

Hi mummies. My 3 month old baby moves non stop in his sleep. He keeps throwing his legs and hands while he sleeps. He grunts too while doing this. I tried to swaddle him and it helps for a while before he breaks loose from the swaddle. Any idea on how to stop him from fidgeting so much in his sleep? #firsttimemom

Hi mama! I'm in the same stage and haven't found a perfect solution but there are some things that help! 1. I use a hands up zip swaddle instead of muslin blanket - my baby has been breaking out of blanket swaddles since 1 month old so I no longer use them in case they cover his face when sleeping. 2. Sometimes it's gas!! Because at night they don't move so much so a lot of build up. I massage tummy and do leg bicycles while he continues to sleep - once he farts he sleeps peacefully already 🤣
