My ds is 14 weeks old, he turned himself round in his cot yesrterday so that his feet were at the head, and can also turn from his belly to his back, and onto his side, and i am sure he must run a mile a day the amount he kicks.
as funny as it is to watch, how can i stop him doing it while bf?

My son does that same... turns 360 on the playmat, kicks all the time... try swaddling him if hes kicking while breastfeeding. I tend to put my hand on my sons feet (lightly) and that seems to stop him kicking. When hes just stretching around though, I just let him, even though his feet go right up to my face!

At night I have to put a duvet or sheet between me and wriggler to stop the kicking from hurting too much. Shes always been a wriggler.
Sorry, this isn't much help, but I'll be watching this thread so see if anyone comes up with some good ideas.

swaddling did work till it got to hot, i have had to put a rolled up blanket to stop him head butting the bars on his cot,(only goes to the right though). Will try holding legs and see if it help.
quootiepie, does he use his head is an anchar?
