DS is 3 months old and sleeps in a Moses basket at the foot of our bed. We're lucky that he's a 'good' sleeper and will sleep a solid 4-5 hours between FF feeds; roughly 11pm, 4am, 8am. Until now that is.
Much to DS's excitement he's just discovered that his hands are attached to his body and that he can make them touch and hold things. During the day he likes to keep one hand firmly gripped to his dribble bib (or our clothes) while the other hand goes exploring. But at night in his sleep he'll stretch his arms out and repeatedly grasp at the fabric lining of his Moses basket, which he does so frantically that he wakes himself up and cries. DH or I then insert dummy to mouth (his not ours) which instantly calms him down so he goes to sleep, then the whole grabby, crying, dummy cycle repeats again. DS is worse between the 4am-8am. During the day he usually naps in his bouncy chair and apart from the odd flail is peaceful.
Anyone else experienced this? Is he getting to big for the Moses basket? Is it a developmental stage thing? Or is DS trying a Mini Houdini escape plan every night?
