Our 8 week old always has very agitated restless sleeps, and is extremely noisy, grunting yelping groaning etc, as a result we swaddle her with a miracle blanket. I'm concerned that this may affect her motor development, should I be concerned? The swaddle seems to calm her a little and maybe gives us a quieter hour or two.
I tried not swaddling her and putting her in a growbag last night which just didn't work, whilst she slept, her arms were flailing around and she was noisier than ever, bashing herself on the face every 10 mins or so. as a result we got no sleep what so ever.
Is it safe to continue to swaddle at this age?
Anyone any ideas why she is so noisy?
Many Thanks.
