baby restless from 5am

[Koru9]

My baby is restless and in and out of sleep from 430/5 every day crying intermittently shuffling about going into deep sleep for ten mins crying again etc etc - any helpful tips?

Hi there, can I ask how old your little one is?

My initial response would be to recommend a feed. How old is your baby?

Watching with interest as my DS is 11 weeks old and does exactly the same

Have you tried a feed as soon as he wakes bunny?

What age?

FATE, I do just that! Even before he wakes fully (he still has eyes closed just starts shuffling around) I feed him and he settles for a while. Also sometimes I turn him on the side and it seems to help as well. Then after some time he starts again!

What about a dummy? That could help him settle. I firm hand on the chest is good aswel (or swaddle if you swaddled when younger).

Around 3 months old is when sleep matures and develops from being passive to something that you have to help baby actively work to achieve. So the "fun" is about to begin.

If you have space to set up a bedside cot, it can help with settling in the night. By this I mean remove one side off your full sized cot and butt it up to your bed. The extra space in a cot as opposed to a bedside crib is more helpful for soothing to sleep long term, I find.

Thanks FATE, we have chicco next2me but no luck using it so far so we co sleep. Yes dummy is another thing that works. Actually it's getting better by day (or rather by night), touch wood!

Fantastic news Bunny!

Thanks FATE, hope it continues in the same direction!
