My DS is 8 months old and startles all the time. He's never been a great sleeper and only sleeps on his tummy, but in the car seat and pram etc(when he's on his back) i've noticed that he startles all the time (every minute or so) when he first drops off, and then around every 20 mins after that. i wonder if this is what causes his disturbed sleep at night too (does he do it on his tummy but it's less noticable?)
what causes it? is it normal? and how can i help him?
