DS is 13 months, almost 14. He has some allergies but we have those under control. He doesn't always sleep through and while not great, it's not the end of the world. I'm posting about something that seems to wake him up / keep him awake.
Some nights he's wriggling about in bed, like he's in distress and obviously wanting to sleep but can't seem able to. He drifts off, then jerks awake and gets upset. It's almost like he's having nightmares? He sits up really quickly, then falls back asleep upright, then lays back down but is tosses and turns over. I'm really hot on anything not good for his skin because of his allergies, and have experimented with sleeping bags and duvets, and also washing powder and things.
Is this normal - to be like this, like this really restless sleeping? Can babies have nightmares? I just want to help him because he doesn't seem comfortable or relaxed, but seems like he really wants to go to sleep!
