Six month old DS has always been a good sleeper but around four months he started doing stomach crunches in his sleep. Putting a little pillow under his legs seemed to help it so I think it was wind
Fast forward to six months hes now doing the stomach crunches as well as flailing arms which then wake him up . Once he's awake he rubs his face and flails his arms even more, which seems to distress him and he gets worked up until he's properly awake.
I was worried about spasms at first but they happen while he's asleep as when as while he wakes, and if I hold his arms down onto his chest they stop and he's not trying to move against me if you see what I mean.
However he has started to get a bit upset when I can't settle him after these little wake ups. He will fall asleep.on me but as soon as I put him back in the cot he wakes and flails and cries
Anyone had this? Is it just one of those things? A developmental stage?
I was wondering if he's outgrowing his small cot we are waiting for a mattress for his proper cot and plan to move him into it next week, don't know if that will help
Any tips gladly received!
