I am lucky as my 15 mo has always been a good sleeper generally and will go long periods sleeping 7-7. However, ever since he learnt to roll he moves around so much in his cot.
Recently, he's been waking several times between 7 and 11 and then a couple more in the night. He's been offered teether as he's been teething and milk as he's not been drinking much at his 3 I clock snack time and he wants neither. He does this some nights but not others and I am not sure why. I can't find a difference in why he moves loads or doesn't.
I am thinking it's not his teeth or hunger otherwise he would have taken the teether or milk, right? I think it might because he moves around too much, he sleeps in funny positions, either on his face with his bum in the air or turns himself sideways or has his head right against the hard end of the cot. As soon as I put him down (on his tummy as he just rolls onto it if I try putting him on his back) he crawls forwards and does it everytime I try and pull him back.
He's done this since he could roll at around 6 mo. I thought about cot bumpers but it says you shouldn't use them when they can roll and I worry he would get tangled in them or play with them instead of sleeping.
I thought he would have grown out of this by now but he hasn't. Is it just something every parent has to ride through or is there a solution? He's been doing it for months. Plus some nights he's fine and others he's not.
