8m old kicking legs at night

My 8m old DS is a pretty bad sleeper and has recently started drumming and kicking his legs in bed at night. He does it with hard, jerky movements and seems uncomfortable. He is really hard to wind after bottle and gets upset as it wakes him up fully. He then starts the leg thing while being held or put in cot. He will often wake himself up doing it too.
Any ideas?

Well it does sound like trapped wind...poor thing...have you tried feeding him almost upright? That can help....and Dr Browns Bottles really reduce the amount of air they take it...I had them for my younger DD and she was fine with them.
