Hi everyone this is my first post to mumsnet I need your Help! My little girl used to be a pretty good sleeper, at 3 months she was waking twice a night and settling no problem. She's now 5 months and for the last couple of months sleeps gone to pot.
She'll go to sleep ok after a bit of fussing but wakes up every half or or so because her arms and legs start thrashing about in her sleep. This goes on through the night. It got to the pint where I was standing over her cot for up to an hour after each waking holding her still so she could sleep. The last few weeks I've resorted to co sleeping which gives us more rest but isnt what i want long term. Has anyone else had this problem? Do you know what causes the thrashing about? Or how to stop it? I thought it might be due to her learning to roll or something but it's gone on so long now I'm beginning to wonder if it'll ever stop? I'm really desparate as tonight she's been in bed for an hour and a half but woken 4 times already 😠I don't pick her up when she wakes just guve her the dummy and gently hold her still until she goes back to sleep. Feel so sad for her that she's not getting proper rest it can't be good for her. She's ebf and doing great apart from this issue. Any advice is much appreciated!
