My 6month old is always restless at night and kicks her legs continuously.
I've spoken to a doctor and they just say it's a baby thing?!

Is anyone else having this problem?

She sleeps from 6pm-8pm most nights then gets up till me and my husband have gone to sleep about 11ish.. then shes up at 2am 3am 4am 5am 6am kicking her legs or crying for her dummy.

Anyone have any advice? Would just like her to sleep a solid 6hours like she did when she was 12weeks..

Leg slamming is something some babies do when over tired. It's also something some babies do for play.

Have you tried laying your hand quite firmly over her thighs as she goes to sleep, to help her still?

Yup and tried placing a blanket over her legs as well and tucking it in tightly but she managers to kick it off

So if you have your hand quite firmly on her legs, you physically cannot hold her legs still?
